What porcelain veneers can correct

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are a strong option when your underlying teeth are healthy and you want to address one or more of the following concerns.

Discoloration from aging, smoking, or food and drink that whitening cannot fully resolve. Chips or cracks that affect the look of your smile. Teeth that are worn down, misshapen, or uneven. Gaps between teeth. A smile that lacks symmetry or uniformity.

Veneers are not only cosmetic. If worn-down teeth are affecting the way you bite or eat, veneers can restore function alongside appearance. For patients with missing teeth or damage too severe for veneers to address, the doctors will discuss whether implants or another restorative approach is the right starting point.

Experience you can trust in Midtown Manhattan

The team at Rockefeller Dentistry brings an uncommon depth of training to cosmetic work. Dr. Gainor holds the Master of the Academy of General Dentistry designation, awarded to less than 2% of dentists nationwide, and has accumulated over 2400 hours of continuing education since completing his residency. He has completed the Pankey Institute restorative continuum, the Spear Institute mastery program, and advanced coursework at the Dawson Academy. He currently serves as general chairman of the Greater New York Dental Meeting, the largest dental convention in the United States. Dr. Rausch is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, the American College of Dentistry, the International College of Dentistry, and the Pierre Fauchard Academy, and previously served as General Chairman of the Greater New York Dental Meeting himself.

For veneer cases specifically, Dr. Chason brings an established working relationship with Peter Kouvaris, a master ceramist with over 35 years of experience and a member of the prestigious Oral Design International Foundation. Kouvaris has lectured at NYU College of Dentistry for 25 years and is considered one of the foremost ceramics technicians in the field. His involvement in veneer cases means the ceramist crafting your restorations is not an anonymous lab technician but a recognized expert who understands both aesthetics and function.

What to expect during the veneer process

Your first appointment gives the doctor the opportunity to examine your teeth, take X-rays and impressions, and discuss your cosmetic goals in detail, including the color and shape you want. You leave that visit with a clear picture of the process ahead.

At your second appointment, the doctor prepares your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the surface of each tooth receiving a veneer. This step ensures the veneer fits naturally without looking or feeling bulky. A special adhesive bonds the veneer to your tooth, which is then cured with a dental light. A follow-up visit is scheduled to check your bite and make any adjustments needed for comfort and fit.

With proper care, including daily brushing and flossing and regular professional cleanings, veneers can last for many years.
