Smile Design & Planning
See and approve your result before treatment starts
Smile Analysis
A detailed look at what makes your smile work, or not. We check your facial midline, lip line, how much gum shows, tooth proportions, color and bite, using photos and an iTero digital scan.
Best for: anyone unsure what to change, or what would make the biggest difference.
Digital Smile Design
Your photos and 3D scan are used to design new tooth shapes on screen, proportioned to your face, lips and gum line. You see the plan and give input before anything is made.
Best for: veneers, Lumineers and full smile makeovers.
A model of your proposed new teeth, built in wax or printed from your digital design. It's copied into a temporary mock-up over your own teeth, so you can "test drive" the smile in a mirror before committing.
Best for: changing the length or shape of several front teeth.
We match color, translucency and surface texture using shade guides and calibrated photos, then pass the details to the lab. A single crown, veneer or filling then blends in with the teeth around it.
Best for: one or two front-tooth restorations that must match exactly.
Smile Makeovers & Veneers
Change the color, shape and alignment of your smile
Smile Makeover
A personalized combination of treatments, such as whitening, veneers, bonding, gum reshaping or Invisalign, sequenced into one plan. Most comprehensive makeovers in Howell are finished within four to twelve weeks.
Best for: several things you'd like to change at once.
Tooth Gap Closure
Gaps between teeth, including a space between the front two, can be closed with bonding in one visit, with veneers for a longer-lasting result, or by moving the teeth with Invisalign. We'll show you all three.
Best for: one or more gaps you notice when you smile.
Thin, custom porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth to fix stains, chips, gaps and mildly uneven teeth in about three visits. Porcelain resists stains far better than natural enamel or bonding.
Best for: lasting changes to color and shape across several teeth.
Lumineers® are an ultra-thin brand of porcelain veneer that can often be bonded with little or no tooth reduction. They're a good choice when teeth are small, worn or spaced, and adding thickness improves the smile.
Best for: patients who want to keep as much natural tooth as possible.
Full Mouth Smile Makeover
Using Zirconia Crowns we were able to give the patient the smile she was dreaming about. She was hiding her smile for many years
Full Mouth Make Over With Zirconia Crowms
Bonding, Reshaping & Tooth-Colored Fillings
Change the color, shape and alignment of your smile
Dental Bonding
Tooth-colored composite resin is sculpted onto the tooth and hardened with a light, repairing chips, cracks and uneven edges in one appointment. Usually little or no drilling is needed.
Best for: a small chip or flaw you want fixed today.
Inlays and Onlays
Custom porcelain restorations made by a lab for cavities or breaks too large for a filling but not bad enough for a crown. They keep more of your natural tooth than a crown does, and they match your tooth color.
Best for: large old fillings or a cracked back tooth.
Also called enamel contouring. Tiny amounts of enamel are smoothed to even out pointed, overlapping or slightly long teeth. It's painless, needs no anesthesia, and you see the result the same day.
Best for: small shape irregularities on otherwise healthy teeth.
Mercury-free, tooth-colored fillings bonded directly to the tooth, so the repair is almost invisible. Old silver amalgam fillings can be replaced with composite as part of a cosmetic plan.
Best for: new cavities, or replacing dark silver fillings.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-strength results, in the office or at home
Laser Tooth Whitening
A professional whitening gel is applied in the office, activated with our chairside whitening laser, and monitored by the dental team. It lifts years of coffee, tea, wine and aging stains in a single visit.
Best for: the fastest visible change, such as before a wedding or event.
Professional Home Whitening Kits
Custom-fitted trays made from your digital scan, with professional gel you wear at home for about one to two weeks. The trays fit precisely, so the gel stays on your teeth and off your gums, and you keep them for touch-ups.
Best for: gradual whitening at your own pace, and maintaining results.
Gum Aesthetics
The frame around your smile
Laser Gum Bleaching / Laser Depigmentation
Dark brown or black patches on the gums come from natural melanin. A dental laser gently removes the pigmented layer, and the gums heal an even pink color, usually within one to two weeks. There's minimal bleeding and no stitches.
Best for: dark or blotchy gums that show when you smile.

HOW IT WORK
Your Cosmetic Dentistry Process in Howell
STEP 1
Smile analysis
Photos, an iTero scan and a conversation about what you'd like to change and what you want to keep.
STEP 2
Digital design & preview
We design your new smile digitally. For bigger changes, a diagnostic wax-up and mock-up let you try it on first.
STEP 3
Treatment in the right order
Whitening usually comes first, so veneers, bonding and fillings can be shade-matched to your brighter teeth.
STEP 4
Keep it looking new
Regular cleanings, whitening touch-ups with your custom trays, and a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Your Cosmetic Dentist
Dr. Lezhansky plans cosmetic cases at our Howell office around your face, bite and long-term health, not just tooth color. His advanced implant training (Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists) means he understands how teeth, gums and bone work together. That's what makes cosmetic results last.
His approach is conservative and holistic. He uses mercury-free materials, removes as little natural tooth as possible, and tells you honestly when a simpler option like whitening or bonding will give you the result you want. Bright Smile Design was founded in 1985 by his father, Dr. Valentin Lezhansky, and is still doctor-owned. No corporate dentistry.

Cosmetic Dentistry Cost & Financing in Howell
Costs range from a single bonding visit to a full smile makeover. Your fee depends on:
-
Which treatments you choose, and how many teeth are involved
-
Lab-made work (veneers, Lumineers, inlays and onlays) vs. same-day work (bonding, reshaping, whitening)
-
Whether you need a diagnostic wax-up and mock-up
Your cosmetic consultation is free, and you'll get a written plan with your exact fee before any treatment starts.
Ways to pay: monthly financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, Health Finance Direct and Proceed Finance. Uninsured patients can join the Bright Smile Value Plan ($399/year), which includes discounts on cosmetic care. Purely cosmetic treatment usually isn't covered by insurance, but restorative treatments such as composite fillings, inlays and onlays often are. Our team will check your plan
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a veneer and a zirconia crown?
A veneer covers only the front surface of the tooth and is used primarily for aesthetic changes. A Zirconia crown covers the entire tooth; we use these when the tooth needs both a cosmetic upgrade and structural reinforcement. Both offer a high-end, natural look.
How long does a full smile makeover take?
The timeline varies, but most comprehensive plans in Howell are completed within four to twelve weeks. Simple fixes like bonding or whitening can be done in a single day, while veneers and crowns require a few visits to ensure a perfect fit and custom shade.
Is a laser gum lift painful?
Not at all. We use a specialized dental laser that cauterizes the tissue as it shapes, meaning there is minimal bleeding, no need for traditional sutures, and a very fast recovery time compared to old-fashioned gum surgery.
Do I need an emergency to book a cosmetic visit?
No. Most of our cosmetic patients have perfectly healthy teeth—they just aren't happy with how they look. You don't need a cavity or a broken tooth to deserve a smile you love.
