Veneers are very thin “wafers” of ceramic porcelain. The dentists in our Manhattan and Brooklyn dental studios bond those porcelain wafers to your teeth in order to change the color, size, shape, and position of your teeth and enhance the shape of your face. Veneers are one of the most powerful tools our NYC dentists have to utterly transform your teeth and your smile.

Our porcelain veneers are designed in our Manhattan and Brooklyn dental studios by top-rated dentists with extensive clinical and aesthetic training specifically to enhance your unique teeth, smile, and face. Once your dentist has created a design for your teeth, you’ll have a chance to wear temporary veneers to see exactly how your new teeth will look and provide feedback. Once you and your dentist agree on a plan, your dentist will work closely with our NYC dental lab partner to mill your porcelain veneers with unrivaled precision.

Veneers are made of ceramic porcelain, and they’re crafted to be an exact fit for your teeth. The porcelain veneers for your teeth are then stained and glazed, just like a piece of china. The ceramic that porcelain veneers are made of is very thin, but it’s also designed to be very hard and durable, just like natural teeth. If well taken care of, porcelain veneers will last for decades.

The process of getting porcelain veneers for your teeth typically requires some local anesthesia, but it should not be painful. We do everything possible in our NYC dental studios to keep you comfortable throughout the process of getting porcelain veneers for your teeth, from queueing up your favorite Netflix show on a TV above your chair to creating veneers for your teeth in fewer visits.

Getting porcelain veneers for your teeth at our Manhattan and Brooklyn dental studios takes three visits. Other dentists in NYC typically require more visits for porcelain veneers, and you’re paying for their time. We’ve made the process of getting incredible veneers for your teeth more efficient, and we pass the savings on to you in how we price our porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers for your teeth are thin, but they’re extremely durable, and most veneers last for decades. No dentistry lasts forever, but with proper dental care and attention, porcelain veneers for your teeth from our NYC dentists can last for many, many years.

The average price for porcelain veneers for your teeth at NYC dentists is anywhere from $1500 to $4000 per tooth. The approach we use to price veneers at our Manhattan and Brooklyn dental studios is different: we charge by the smile for porcelain veneers. We think this a more holistic way to approach veneers, which are really about transforming your smile as a whole. No matter how many porcelain veneers you need for your teeth, we charge the same flat rate, so you don’t have to decide between which teeth get veneers and which don’t get veneers if you have a limited budget.

Your teeth are unique, and the number of porcelain veneers you’ll need will depend on how you want to see your teeth transformed. Veneers are usually done symmetrically. In other words, if you have a porcelain veneer on one tooth on the left side of your mouth, you’ll usually also want a porcelain veneer on the same tooth on the right side of your mouth. That means veneers for your teeth usually come in even numbers, like eight or ten.

We refer to porcelain veneers for your teeth as “minimally invasive.” This means that the amount of tooth removed to place a veneer at our Manhattan and Brooklyn dental studios is extremely limited, no more than 1 to 1.5 millimeters. However, much of the time a porcelain veneer for your teeth can be placed by one of our NYC dentists without removing any tooth structure at all. It depends entirely on your teeth’s unique situation and how you want your veneers to look.

Creating a digital rendering of your new teeth is a particularly exciting part of creating veneers. When you come in for your free veneers consult at one of our Manhattan or Brooklyn dental studios, your dentist will show you, that day, how you’ll look with your new teeth once your porcelain veneers are placed. Your dentist does this by feeding a quality photograph into a dental computer program with a vast library of veneer possibilities for your smile, finding the veneers look that works the best for your unique face and teeth.

Temporary veneers are a tangible way to see how your new teeth will look with veneers. The dentists at our Manhattan and Brooklyn dental studios place temporary veneers at your second visit, after you’ve already seen a digital rendering of your new teeth with veneers. They’re made from acrylic, and they are temporarily attached to your teeth in order to give you accurate preview of what your permanent porcelain veneers will look like. After you’ve lived with your temporary veneers for a few days, you can talk to your dentist about changing the color or shape of your permanent porcelain veneers. This is a way for you and your dentist to collaborate on how veneers can create the perfect smile for you.

Porcelain veneers from our NYC dentists transform the shape, color, and overall appearance of your teeth. But by enhancing your teeth, veneers can also change the shape of your face. Once your veneers are placed, they can often improve lip support. Veneers can also soften or otherwise enhance the soft tissues of the face. This makes veneers an extremely powerful way to enhance your appearance and make your face look more youthful.

Dental insurance usually does not cover veneers. After one of our NYC dentists has completed your smile preview in the studio, we can let you know if any part of your treatment will be covered by your dental insurance plan.

You’ll care for our veneers in almost exactly the same way you’d care for your natural teeth and your overall dental health. To take care of your veneers, simply brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash. We also usually recommend a night guard to further protect your veneers from the dental wear caused by grinding. When you have veneers, we also suggest that you avoid eating hard candies, or any other very hard food that is not found in nature, since these can damage your veneers (just like they can damage your natural teeth). Eating apples, corn on the cob, and other natural foods that require vigorous biting and chewing are absolutely fine for veneers. So if you have veneers, you don’t have to worry about making a huge change.

Since nighttime grinding and clenching are so common in NYC, our NYC dentists do recommend getting a night guard to protect your veneers from dental wear. This ensures that the beautifully-crafted ceramic porcelain veneers in your mouth won’t be damaged.

Our Manhattan and Brooklyn dentists have the knowledge and experience to create porcelain veneers the right way. We listen to our members who want porcelain veneers and do our best to understand their wants and needs, and we understand how porcelain veneers can help. We have also partnered with a state-of-the-art dental laboratory in NYC that specializes in porcelain veneers. The will create beautiful permanent porcelain veneers for you. Overall, we believe that porcelain veneers are one of the most powerful ways to transform not just your teeth, but your sense of confidence. Once your porcelain veneers are placed, our hope is that you forget that you have veneers at all, and that your new teeth become one with your smile. Porcelain veneers are an absolutely amazing way to feel great about how you look.
