Cosmetic Dentistry in Maspeth, NY
Your Smile, Your Confidence
Your smile is one of the first things people notice—and when you feel confident about it, that confidence shows in every part of your life. At Fitzsimons & Hagan Dentistry, cosmetic dentistry is not about chasing perfection or creating “fake-looking” smiles. It’s about conservative, thoughtful enhancements that highlight your natural features and help you feel like the best version of yourself.
We combine advanced training, artistic precision, and a whole-mouth philosophy to create cosmetic results that are beautiful, functional, and long-lasting. Whether you’re interested in subtle refinements or a complete smile transformation, our goal is always the same: a smile that looks so natural, no one knows dental work was done at all.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile while maintaining—or enhancing—oral health and function. At our office, cosmetic care is never isolated from general dentistry. Every aesthetic decision is made with your bite, tooth structure, and long-term health in mind.
True cosmetic dentistry requires:
- Advanced clinical training
- An eye for detail and facial harmony
- Conservative treatment planning
- High-quality materials
- A deep understanding of function
This comprehensive approach allows us to create smiles that are not only beautiful, but also comfortable and durable.
A Conservative Philosophy: Less Is More
One of the most important principles guiding our cosmetic work is conservation of natural tooth structure. We believe the best cosmetic dentistry preserves as much healthy enamel as possible.
Our approach focuses on:
- Minimally invasive preparations
- Thoughtful case selection
- Long-term predictability
- Avoiding unnecessary treatment
This philosophy is especially important when it comes to veneers and crowns. Beautiful cosmetic dentistry should enhance your natural smile—not overpower it.
Significant Training in Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Fitzsimons and Dr. Hagan have pursued extensive continuing education in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, allowing them to deliver high-level aesthetic care within a general dentistry practice.
This advanced training enables us to:
- Design smiles that fit each patient’s face
- Blend restorations seamlessly with natural teeth
- Balance beauty with function and health
- Offer multiple cosmetic options under one roof
Rather than offering a single solution, we tailor each cosmetic plan to the individual.
Veneers: Conservative, Beautiful Transformations
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve shape, color, alignment, and symmetry.
Veneers are ideal for addressing:
- Chipped or worn teeth
- Gaps or uneven spacing
- Congenitally misshapen teeth
- Severe discoloration
- Minor crowding or alignment issues
When done properly, veneers can completely transform a smile—while still looking natural.
Dr. Hagan’s Personal Veneer Story
Dr. Bronwyn Hagan has a deeply personal connection to cosmetic dentistry, especially veneers:
“I have had veneers on my teeth since I was 16 because my front teeth were congenitally misshapen—thanks, Dad. I was lucky to have my mom as a dentist, knowing that my teeth were in the best hands. I was so self-conscious about my smile before veneers, and now, anyone who knows me knows that I love smiling and showing off my teeth. Is it really a smile if you don't show your teeth? The best part of my smile is that no one realizes how much work I've had done—braces, Invisalign, whitening, and veneers! Only a few people are lucky enough to be born with a perfect smile, and I'm not one of them; however, I am lucky to know a great dentist!”
This personal experience shapes how Dr. Hagan approaches cosmetic dentistry—with empathy, precision, and an emphasis on subtle, natural results.
Clear Aligner Therapy (Invisalign® & Clear Aligners)
Straight teeth play a critical role in both aesthetics and oral health. Clear aligner therapy allows us to straighten teeth discreetly—without traditional braces.
Clear aligners can correct:
- Crowding
- Spacing
- Mild to moderate bite issues
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Because aligners are removable and nearly invisible, many adults and teens choose this option to improve their smile without disrupting daily life.
Invisalign as Part of a Cosmetic Plan
Clear aligners are often used as a first step in a cosmetic treatment plan. By aligning teeth prior to veneers or bonding, we can:
- Reduce the amount of tooth preparation needed
- Improve symmetry naturally
- Enhance long-term stability
This conservative sequencing allows us to achieve better results with less intervention.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most effective ways to enhance your smile.
We offer professional whitening options that are:
- Safe
- Effective
- Designed to minimize sensitivity
Whitening can be used on its own or combined with other cosmetic treatments to brighten and refresh your smile.
Cosmetic Crowns & Bonding
In cases where teeth are more heavily damaged or restored, cosmetic crowns or bonding may be recommended.
These treatments can:
- Restore shape and strength
- Improve color and proportions
- Blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth
As with all cosmetic care, our focus is on conservative preparation and natural aesthetics.
Smile Design: A Customized Process
Every smile is unique, and cosmetic dentistry should never follow a cookie-cutter approach.
During your consultation, we consider:
- Facial features
- Lip movement and smile line
- Tooth proportions
- Bite and function
- Your goals and concerns
This personalized planning ensures results that feel authentic and balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Will cosmetic dentistry make my smile look fake? No—when done conservatively and thoughtfully, cosmetic dentistry should look completely natural. Our philosophy focuses on preserving natural tooth structure, using high-quality materials, and designing smiles that fit your face, personality, and bite.
Do veneers damage your teeth? When veneers are done properly and conservatively, they do not harm your teeth. In many cases, minimal enamel is removed—or none at all.
How long do veneers last? With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, veneers can last 10–15 years or longer. Longevity depends on habits such as grinding, oral hygiene, and routine dental visits.
Is Invisalign only for teenagers? Not at all. Clear aligner therapy is extremely popular among adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly.
Can Invisalign be combined with veneers or bonding? Yes. Invisalign is often used as a first step in a cosmetic plan to align teeth conservatively before veneers or bonding.
Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity? Professional whitening systems are designed to minimize sensitivity. We offer options that are safe, effective, and comfortable.
How long does cosmetic dentistry take? Treatment time varies depending on your goals. Whitening may take days to weeks, Invisalign typically takes several months, and veneers are often completed in a few visits.
