I was very very afraid to go to the dentist but I had a crown that cracked and came off so I couldn't avoid it. My husband has been going to this dentist for a while and said they were good so I reluctantly gave it a try. I am so glad that I did! Now. I absolutely love my teeth, I am not self-conscious about my smile. I would recommend this dentist to anyone!

Dr. Summer repaired poor dental work that i thought was impossible. She changed my smile and my life! Not all hair salons should be called a spa and not all dentists should claim cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Lerch is both a scientist and an artist.

View on GoogleOur Featured Smile Makeover Services
These are some of the most popular smile makeover treatments at our New Haven practice.
Teeth Whitening
Achieve a dazzling smile with our professional teeth whitening services. We use the Philips Zoom!® whitening system to eliminate years of surface staining. Many patients see an improvement of several shades in just one hour-long appointment. We also offer professional-grade at-home kits that can comfortably whiten your smile when worn overnight or for just a few hours a day.
Veneers
Our IPS e.max® veneers can mask cracks, stains, small gaps, and more. This premier material possesses the same translucent qualities as natural teeth, providing incredibly lifelike cosmetic enhancement. Your custom veneers will be ultra-thin, allowing you to speak, chew, and smile with complete comfort.
Laser Gum Contouring
Our laser gum contouring services are a virtually painless way to balance and straighten your gumline. If you feel your teeth appear disproportionately small due to a "gummy smile," this treatment can safely and effectively remove excess gum tissue and refocus attention on your beautiful smile, not your gums.
Invisalign
The Invisalign system is a popular alternative to traditional orthodontics for patients who want to correct mild to moderate misalignment. These clear plastic aligners gradually straighten your smile with a level of comfort and subtlety that bulky metal braces cannot provide. Our New Haven practice also offers Invisalign attachments, which makes treatment possible for a wider range of patients. If you have especially complex misalignment issues, Dr. Lerch can refer you to a qualified orthodontist for effective treatment.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can be used to enhance the appearance of decayed and damaged teeth or otherwise healthy teeth that are misshapen or discolored. Our top-quality zirconia and IPS e.max crowns are custom-made at a trusted lab that can precisely color-match your crowns to the rest of your smile for a beautiful, seamless look.
Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implants are the definitive restorative solution for missing teeth and the only treatment that can prevent jawbone recession after tooth loss. We work with a skilled dental implant specialist who can place implant posts to replace missing tooth roots. Dr. Lerch and our team can then design lifelike crowns, bridges, or dentures that look and feel just like your natural teeth.
These treatments can be combined with many other restorative and cosmetic dentistry services to further enhance the look and function of your smile. Explore our full list of dental services for more information.

Of Merging Care With Craft
“Dr. Lerch is a master of her craft. She and her team gave me a beautiful smile. They are patient, professional perfectionists in the best way. I couldn’t be happier with my results!”
Makeover Aftercare
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, the results of your smile makeover can last for several years. We recommend the following tips:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss your teeth at least once a day (traditional floss or water flossers are both good options)
- Visit our office twice a year for routine exams and X-rays
Makeover Touch-Ups
If your teeth start getting stained or your dental veneers start showing signs of wear and tear, no worries. Come by our office in New Haven so we can give your dental work a look. We may recommend some bonding or other minor touch-up work to prolong the benefits of the makeover.
If necessary, we can develop an all-new smile enhancement plan.
Smile Makeover FAQ
What makes a smile makeover different from full mouth reconstruction?
A smile makeover is predominantly focused on the appearance and aesthetics of a person's smile.
Full mouth reconstruction is rehabilitative in nature, with a focus on improving the health of the teeth and gums. It's ideal for patients with multiple or complex oral health issues.
How much time does a smile makeover take to complete?
The answer varies depending on the makeover procedures a patient undergoes. For example, dental veneers and tooth-colored crowns can be crafted in much less time than it takes to complete Invisalign treatment or place dental implants. We can provide an estimated timeline during your consultation.
Does the makeover process hurt?
Generally speaking, no. This is thanks to modern advances in technology and pain management in dentistry. Some temporary discomfort may occur after certain dental procedures, but we take great care in mitigating pain in-office while providing advice on minimizing pain when a patient is at home.
