What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells — typically 0.5 to 0.7mm thick — that are permanently bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color you want. Once bonded, they look and feel like natural teeth. Veneers are the treatment of choice for patients who want to correct multiple cosmetic issues at once — without orthodontics, multiple procedures, or a long treatment timeline.

Schedule ConsultationThe Porcelain Veneer Process at Smile Creators Dental
Most patients complete porcelain veneers in two appointments:
- Consultation — Dr. Shimanov evaluates your teeth, discusses your goals, and confirms you're a good candidate for veneers
- Tooth Preparation — A thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer
- Impressions — We take precise impressions of your teeth which are sent to a dental lab to custom-fabricate your veneers
- Temporary Veneers — You wear temporary veneers while your permanent ones are being made (typically 1–2 weeks)
- Bonding — Your permanent porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth and adjusted for fit, bite, and appearance
- Final Result — You leave with a permanently transformed smile
Our midtown office ensures a seamless transition from your first visit to your final reveal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before Your Visit
How much do porcelain veneers cost in NYC?
At Smile Creators Dental, porcelain veneers range from $1,200 to $3,500 per tooth. Composite veneers range from $300 to $800 per tooth. Final pricing depends on the number of teeth being treated and the complexity of your case.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 15–20 years with proper care. Avoid biting very hard objects, use a night guard if you grind your teeth, and maintain regular dental visits to help extend their lifespan.
Are veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers are considered permanent because a thin layer of enamel is removed during preparation and cannot be restored. Composite veneers involve less tooth preparation and are considered more semi-permanent.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Porcelain veneers are individually designed to match the shape, size, and color of natural teeth. When properly designed and placed, they blend naturally into your smile.
Does getting veneers hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity for a few days after tooth preparation, but this usually improves quickly.
How many teeth do I need veneers on?
It depends on your smile goals. Some patients treat only the front 4–6 teeth that show when they smile, while others choose up to 10 teeth for a complete smile makeover. Dr. Shimanov will recommend what makes sense for your specific case.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can improve the appearance of mildly misaligned or uneven teeth without braces. For more significant alignment problems, Invisalign may be recommended instead, or the two treatments may be combined.
Is dental insurance covered for veneers?
Porcelain veneers are generally considered a cosmetic procedure, so dental insurance usually does not cover them. Flexible payment options are available to help make treatment more manageable.
How do I care for my veneers?
Brush twice daily, floss regularly, maintain routine dental visits, and avoid biting hard objects such as ice or fingernails. If you grind your teeth at night, Dr. Shimanov may recommend a night guard to protect your veneers.
Where is Smile Creators Dental located?
