A Simple Path to a Beautifully Transformed Smile
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of your teeth. They have become one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available, thanks to their simplicity, versatility and ability to dramatically improve a smile with minimal preparation.
Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill and close attention to cosmetic detail. Our dentists place veneers routinely, designing each case individually to match and enhance the unique characteristics of every patient's smile. We provide veneers to patients from Mineola, NY, Garden City, New Hyde Park, East Williston and Roslyn Heights.

Same—Day Veneers with CEREC Technology
Teeth that have been repaired with composite material often break down over time, resulting in chipped or worn areas that affect the smile's appearance. For patients dealing with this kind of wear, CEREC veneers offer a way to correct the incisal length and angle of the tooth, restoring it to its original appearance in a single visit.
Like traditional veneers, CEREC veneers are thin laminates of tooth-colored porcelain, bonded to the front surface of the tooth to cover imperfections and improve overall appearance. What sets CEREC veneers apart is the technology behind them. Using digital design and in-office milling, each veneer is custom-designed for the specific tooth it will cover, providing an exact match without the wait typically associated with a traditional, lab-fabricated veneer.
Are Veneers the Right Choice for You?
Porcelain veneers may be a good option if you have:
- Teeth that are stained or discolored and have not responded well to whitening
- Chipped, worn, or slightly misshapen teeth affecting the appearance of your smile
- Small gaps between teeth you would like to close cosmetically
- Teeth that are slightly uneven in length or shape
- A desire for a long-lasting, natural-looking cosmetic improvement
Patients specifically looking to correct the incisal length and angle of a worn or chipped tooth in a single visit may be excellent candidates for CEREC same-day veneers. Our doctors will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals during a consultation to confirm whether traditional or same-day veneers are the right fit for your smile.
How Porcelain Veneers Are Placed, Step by Step
Placing custom porcelain veneers typically takes one or two appointments, depending on your unique needs and treatment goals.
1
Consultation and Planning
Your doctor discusses your goals and designs a treatment plan tailored to enhance your specific smile.
2
Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the front surface of the tooth to prepare it for the veneer.
3
Taking Impressions
Detailed impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab, where your custom veneers are crafted to match your desired shade and shape.
4
Wearing Temporary Veneers
While your permanent veneers are being made, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and maintain your appearance in the meantime.
5
Bonding the Final Veneers
Once ready, your custom veneers are bonded to your teeth using advanced, proven bonding materials, with any final adjustments made to ensure a comfortable, natural fit.
6
Final Review
Your doctor reviews the fit, appearance and bite of your new veneers, making sure you are fully satisfied with the result before you leave.
Why Patients Choose Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer a combination of aesthetic and practical benefits:
- Natural, undetectable appearance, closely resembling healthy tooth enamel
- Highly stain-resistant, holding up well against coffee, tea and other staining substances
- Long-lasting results, brightening your smile for well over a decade with proper care
- Individually designed, with each veneer customized to enhance your unique smile
- Minimal preparation required, compared to more invasive restorative options like crowns
- Same-day option available, with CEREC technology offering a custom, exact-match veneer in a single visit
Caring for Your Veneers
With proper care, porcelain veneers can brighten your smile for well over a decade. Our doctors ensure that every set of veneers is crafted from the highest quality porcelain and bonded using the most advanced, proven materials available.
To help extend the life of your veneers, avoid using them as tools to open packages or cut items, since this can lead to chipping or breakage. If accidental damage does occur, it is usually possible to replace only the affected veneer rather than the entire set, minimizing both cost and treatment time.
