Smile Design
Cosmetic dentistry can be a powerful tool in drastically improving your appearance. With our smile design service, we can provide you with a complete smile makeover!
Smile design consists of several different types of treatment to change the size, shape, color, or alignment of your teeth. Treatment typically includes either:
What can you expect?
Before any treatment begins, Dr. Cochran takes the time to listen to your needs. She will perform a thorough oral examination as well as take a full series of photos and/or digital x-rays. Additionally, impressions and study models will be taken.
We will provide you with a visual smile catalog to aid you in choosing a smile you love. Your dentist in Lakewood, OH, and her friendly dental team spends a great deal of time with you one-on-one at this appointment, discussing what you want to achieve and explaining the different treatment options available to you.
Upon choosing your desired course, we will present you with a final smile design to ensure all of your expectations have been met, usually in the form of temporaries. We will only proceed with placing permanent dentistry once all of your questions and concerns have been answered.

Why see a professional dentist for teeth whitening in the Cleveland, Lakewood, Rocky River, and Westlake areas?
Only a professional dentist can provide uniform, high-quality teeth whitening. Dr. Cochran offers custom-fitted trays designed for your unique smile that provide the most even area of coverage (contact between your teeth and the bleaching solution). This ensures the most consistent results.
Porcelain Veneers
It really is possible to improve the look of your smile forever! Our fabulous porcelain veneer restorations can completely change your smile.
“Our patients love them! To help someone to love their smile is the most rewarding part of dentistry.” – Dr. Niki Cochran
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin coverings for your teeth that can solve a variety of dental issues, including:
Fully customizable, our veneers are a long-lasting solution to restoring ideal color, shape, size, length, and spacing to your smile.
Peace of mind to loving your smile
Dr. Cochran will walk you through our smile catalog, consult photos you bring in, create study models, and use intra-oral camera pictures to provide you the opportunity to see how you’ll look with your new smile.
Your customized porcelain veneers will be crafted by a high-quality LVI-accredited lab. The process takes just a matter of weeks, allowing you to enjoy your new, improved smile sooner than ever before. Once placed, Dr. Cochran will make any adjustments necessary to ensure you love your new smile.
To help protect the investment of your new smile, Dr. Cochran provides you with a customized nightguard to prevent damage to your veneers from clenching and grinding. Such a complete and thorough veneers process cannot be found elsewhere in the area. It’s because Dr. Cochran wants to see our patients 100% satisfied with their newly improved smile!

Gum Contouring
Have you been hiding your smile due to its overly gummy appearance? Don’t hide your smile any longer! A confident, beautiful smile can be yours with a simple procedure known as gum contouring.
Utilizing our advanced laser technology ensures your visit will be quick, comfortable, and pain-free. Using laser dentistry, we are able to provide effective and painless solutions to “gummy” and uneven smiles. With gum contouring, smaller teeth will appear larger and larger teeth will look more in proportion compared to their surrounding teeth. The treatment is very simple and there is no virtually no down time.
Laser Dentistry
In addition to gum contouring, laser dentistry is also used in conjunction with our traditional hygiene treatments and offers a non-surgical solution for mild-to-moderate periodontal disease. Our soft-tissue laser can also be used to enhance retention during crown procedures. Regardless of which procedure is needed, laser dentistry ensures our patients always receive the best care possible.
To ensure your comfort at all times, we will numb the treatment area with a topical anesthetic. Additionally, oral sedation and nitrous oxide are available for anyone anxious about their procedure.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation Dentistry in Lakewood, Ohio for calming, comfortable care.
At CLE Smiles by Dr. Niki, we want you to be comfortable throughout your treatment or appointment. Because of this, we offer our patients the option of oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide sedation. During the procedure, you will be awake and can respond verbally, but you will be blissfully relaxed and be de-sensitized to any dental fears.
Sedation dentistry can help patients struggling with:
If you’ve been avoiding the dentist out of anxiety or fear, see for yourself the change sedation dentistry can bring. Many of our patients rave they will never go back to dentistry without sedation again!
