Veneers in New York, NY
Say goodbye to stains, chips, and gaps with custom veneers. Schedule your New York City consultation and unlock your most confident smile!
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells, custom-made to cover the front surface of your teeth, correcting discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment in just a few visits. At SmileWorks in Midtown East Manhattan, Dr. Jin Sup Shin — NYU adjunct clinical professor and award-winning cosmetic dentist — precisely designs each porcelain veneer to improve your appearance while maintaining a completely natural look. We offer both porcelain veneers and composite veneers for patients across the Upper East Side, Murray Hill, Kips Bay, and the greater NYC area.
Porcelain veneers provide the highest level of aesthetics and longevity — they are highly stain-resistant, feel like natural enamel, and typically last 10–15 years or more with proper care. Composite veneers are a more conservative, less costly option that can often be completed in a single appointment. Curious about the cost of veneers in NYC? Porcelain veneers in Manhattan typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 per tooth; composite veneers are generally less expensive. We offer transparent pricing, free consultations, and work with all major PPO insurance plans.

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, damaged teeth, or weakened teeth can hold you back from achieving self confidence. Unlike traditional veneers that may have limitations, modern 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 issues at once. Whether you’re dealing with slightly crooked teeth, stubborn discoloration, or gaps that impact your confidence, porcelain veneers deliver stunning, natural looking results. For patients also interested in brightening their smile, we offer teeth whitening as a complementary option. And if you have chips or worn areas, dental fillings may also play a role in restoring your smile.
Plus, they’re highly stain resistant, meaning you can enjoy your morning coffee regardless of lifestyle habits. With proper care and good oral health, your beautiful new smile can last 10-15 years or more, protecting the tooth underneath while enhancing natural beauty.

The Veneer Process: Your Path to a Perfect Smile
Our caring professionals always put your comfort first. Read our guide to dental veneers to learn what to expect before your first visit.
Initial consultation
We discuss your goals for your new smile, how you want your teeth to look, and if dental veneers are right for your dental needs. Our cosmetic dentists evaluate healthy teeth and any oral health issues.
Initial records
Your dentist will take X-rays, photographs, and a 3D scan of your teeth to give us a detailed image to more accurately diagnose your concerns. This cutting-edge technology helps visualize your smile transformation.
Tooth preparation
To prepare your natural teeth for porcelain veneers, we remove a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface to ensure they fit comfortably without damaging the tooth underneath. The top eight front teeth are most commonly treated with veneers.
Temporary veneers
We take impressions of your prepared teeth, which our dental lab uses as a model for your permanent veneers. While you wait, we place temporary veneers so most patients can still smile confidently when leaving our Manhattan office.
Permanent veneers
When your custom made porcelain veneers arrive from the dental lab, we bond them to your teeth with minor adjustments, ensuring the right shade matches your natural teeth for a beautiful smile.

Am I a Candidate for Veneers?
Considering porcelain veneers to transform your smile? The best candidates maintain good oral health and healthy teeth while wanting to improve appearance. Veneers might be perfect if you’re self-conscious about stained teeth that won’t respond to whitening, tired of seeing chips or worn edges affecting self confidence, or frustrated by slightly crooked teeth and misalignments.
During your Manhattan consultation, Dr. Shin carefully evaluates several factors including oral health to ensure dental veneers are your best option. We’ll assess important factors like enamel thickness on each tooth surface, gum health to prevent gum disease, and bite alignment to guarantee long-lasting results. Together, we’ll create a custom treatment plan addressing your unique cosmetic concerns while preserving the entire tooth structure.
What Are The Benefits of Getting Veneers?
If you look in the mirror and wish your smile was brighter, whiter, straighter, or more even, porcelain veneers may be the right solution. This life-changing cosmetic procedure offers many patients the following advantages:
Stain Resistant: While not entirely immune to staining, porcelain veneers are more stain resistant than natural enamel, keeping your new smile bright regardless of lifestyle habits.
Natural Looking: We ensure each veneer’s shade and shape match your natural teeth perfectly. Many patients report their new dentist can’t tell which teeth have veneers.
Easy Maintenance: Dental veneers don’t require additional maintenance appointments beyond regular checkups, making proper care simple.
Long-Lasting: Quality porcelain veneers from our dental lab can last up to 15 years with proper care, giving you durable results that enhance your life.
Versatile Solution: Cover veneers can address damaged teeth, weakened teeth, gaps, and discoloration in one cosmetic treatment, often without removal of significant tooth structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental veneers last?
Porcelain veneers generally last 10-15 years or longer with proper care, while composite veneers typically last around 5-7 years. Practicing good oral hygiene and avoiding harmful habits like teeth grinding can help prolong their lifespan.
Are veneers a reversible procedure?
No, traditional porcelain veneers are not reversible. A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface during preparation, which cannot be restored. However, no-prep veneers like Lumineers may be reversible because they require minimal or no enamel removal.
Do veneers look and feel like natural teeth?
Yes, veneers are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. When properly bonded by a dentist, they blend seamlessly with your smile and feel comfortable in your mouth.
Can veneers stain or discolor over time?
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant, even against foods and drinks like coffee or red wine. In contrast, composite veneers are more prone to staining over time. Maintaining good oral hygiene and limiting exposure to staining substances can help preserve their appearance.
What types of stains respond best to teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is most effective on yellowish stains caused by food, drinks, or smoking. Stains from medications (e.g., tetracycline) or intrinsic discoloration due to genetics are harder to treat and may require alternative solutions.
What types of dental issues can veneers fix?
Veneers can address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
- Mildly misaligned teeth
