Veneers in Manhattan, NYC

Say goodbye to stains, chips, and gaps with custom veneers. Schedule your Manhattan consultation and unlock your most confident smile!

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells, similar to a contact lens for your teeth, that are custom-crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth. Each porcelain veneer is precisely designed to improve your tooth’s appearance while maintaining a natural look. Whether you’re dealing with discolored teeth, gaps, or misshapen teeth, veneers offer a comprehensive solution for multiple dental issues.

Our team uses high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure your veneers feel natural and look beautiful. From the initial consultation through the final placement, we focus on creating smile makeovers that reflect your personality while addressing your aesthetic concerns.

Why Choose Veneers?

Do you find yourself hiding your smile in photos or covering your mouth when you laugh? You’re not alone. Stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth can hold you back from feeling your best. Unlike traditional options like braces that take years, porcelain veneers give you the perfect smile you’ve dreamed of in just a few visits.

Veneers do more than just enhance your appearance – they’re a comprehensive solution for multiple cosmetic issues at once. Whether you’re dealing with misaligned teeth, stubborn discoloration, or gaps that affect your confidence, veneers deliver stunning results that look and feel natural.

Plus, they’re highly stain-resistant, meaning you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine without worry. With proper care, your beautiful new smile can last 10-15 years or more.

While every patient is different and has a unique personalized plan, you can generally expect the following steps when getting veneers, which involves two appointments:

Tooth preparation

To prepare your teeth for the veneers, we remove a small amount of enamel from the teeth to ensure they fit comfortably. The top eight front teeth are most commonly topped with veneers.

What Are The Benefits of Getting Veneers?

If you look in the mirror and wish your smile was brighter, whiter, straighter, or more even, veneers may be the right solution for you. They do more than just enhance your smile’s appearance. This life-changing cosmetic treatment also offers the following advantages:

Stain-resistant

While veneers are not entirely immune to staining, they are more stain-resistant than the tooth’s natural enamel, keeping your smile looking bright and radiant.

Natural

We take a personalized and detail-oriented approach to veneers to ensure their shade and shape match your natural teeth. This gives you a natural finish and an authentic smile that reflects your personality.

Easy maintenance

Veneers don’t require any additional maintenance or dental appointments, making them easy to care for and maintain.

Long-lasting

Veneers are made with durable porcelain, and with the proper care, they can last up to 15 years, giving you long-lasting results.
