Porcelain Veneers in Brooklyn, NY
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
A porcelain veneer is a thin, custom-made shell bonded to the front of a tooth. Each one is fabricated to match the translucency of natural enamel, so light passes through it the way it passes through a real tooth. That optical behavior is what separates a well-made veneer from a flat, opaque one.
Because a veneer only covers the visible surface, it requires far less alteration than a crown. In many cases we remove a fraction of a millimeter of enamel, and in some cases no preparation is needed at all. Your natural tooth structure stays largely intact, which protects the long-term health of the tooth.
Veneers correct deep discoloration that will not respond to whitening, chips and worn edges, gaps between teeth, small or uneven teeth, mild crowding, and old bonding that has stained or separated at the margins.
Why Brooklyn Patients Choose Omni for Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are as much an artistic decision as a clinical one. Two dentists working with the same porcelain and the same laboratory can produce very different smiles. What separates the result you want from the result you settle for is training, judgment, and how much of your natural tooth the dentist is willing to preserve.
Trained in Milan at Style Italiano™
Dr. Oleg Borshch completed certification at the Style Italiano™ Esthetic Dentistry Institute in Milan, a credential held by fewer than 100 dentists in the United States. The Style Italiano™ approach is built on conserving enamel: prepare as little of the natural tooth as the case allows, and let the porcelain do the rest. It is the reason our veneer cases tend to look like the patient, only refined, rather than like a set of matched shells.
25 years and thousands of smile makeovers
Dr. Borshch has been designing smiles on Kings Highway since 1998. He has published on cosmetic technique in national and international dental journals, and his work on the one-visit smile makeover was selected as continuing education material studied by dentists nationwide. Case volume matters with veneers, because shade selection, tooth proportion, and gum line symmetry are judgments refined by repetition. Read more about Dr. Borshch and his training.
Cases other practices turned down
A meaningful share of our veneer patients arrive after being told their case was too complex, too worn, or too far gone for a cosmetic solution. Severe wear, old failing bonding, uneven gum lines, and previously treated teeth are all workable. If you have been turned away elsewhere, it is worth a second opinion before you accept that answer.
A second cosmetic specialist in the same office
Dr. Diana Krinker holds the same Style Italiano™ certification and brings advanced training in orthodontics and periodontal care. When a veneer case needs gum contouring or minor tooth movement before the porcelain goes on, that work happens here rather than through an outside referral.
The practice holds 4.9 stars from more than 460 patients. Browse the smile gallery to judge the work directly, or read the patient reviews.
The Veneer Process at Omni Dental Care
Most veneer cases are completed in two visits over two to three weeks. You will see a preview of your new smile before any porcelain is made.
- Consultation and smile design. We photograph your smile, discuss what you want changed in your own words, and assess whether your gums, bite, and existing restorations support veneers. This is also where we tell you honestly if bonding or whitening would serve you better.
- Digital preview. Using high-resolution imaging, we design the proposed shape, length, and shade and show it to you before anything is fabricated. You approve the design, not just the concept.
- Minimal preparation. Following the Style Italiano™ method, we remove only the enamel the case genuinely requires. Some cases need no preparation at all. Temporary veneers are placed if the case calls for them.
- Custom fabrication. Your impressions go to a ceramist who builds each veneer individually to the approved design. This is where the laboratory relationship matters, and it is one of the things you are paying for.
- Bonding and refinement. Each veneer is bonded, then checked against your bite, your lip line, and your face at rest and smiling. Final polishing happens only after you have seen the result and agreed with it.
Can veneers be done in one day?
For selected cases, yes. Dr. Borshch published on the one-visit smile makeover approach, which uses precision composite to deliver a full smile transformation in a single appointment. It is not right for every case, but when it is, it saves weeks.
Are you a candidate?
Veneers work best on healthy teeth with cosmetic problems. If your gums are healthy, your teeth are free of active decay, and you have enough enamel for the porcelain to bond to, you are likely a candidate.
We may recommend treating something first if you have active gum disease, untreated decay, significant grinding, or substantial misalignment that would give a better long-term result with tooth movement first. Where too little natural tooth remains, a different restoration will protect the tooth better than a veneer would. We would rather tell you that at a consultation than sell you a case that will not last.
What Porcelain Veneers Cost in Brooklyn
Veneer pricing in Brooklyn is driven by a handful of specific factors, and understanding them will tell you more than a single headline number would.
What changes the cost
- Number of teeth. Cost scales close to linearly, though full-arch cases sometimes carry a package rate.
- Porcelain and ceramist. A layered feldspathic veneer built by hand costs more than a pressed veneer, and the two behave differently in light.
- Case complexity. Heavy wear, old failing restorations, gum contouring, or bite correction add clinical time.
- Whether preparation is needed. No-preparation cases can be less involved, but they require the right starting tooth position.
- Temporaries. Cases requiring provisional veneers between visits carry an additional laboratory and chair cost.
You will receive a written estimate at your consultation before you commit to anything. Cosmetic veneers are almost never covered by dental insurance, because insurers classify them as elective, so we offer flexible payment options to spread the cost over time rather than paying at once.
Veneers or cosmetic bonding?
Veneers are not always the right answer, and bonding is often the better value for a smaller problem.
Porcelain veneers suit multiple teeth, full smile redesigns, and anyone who wants lasting color stability. They resist staining because porcelain does not absorb it, typically last 10 to 15 years or longer, and take two visits.
Cosmetic bonding suits single teeth, small chips and gaps, and trying a change before committing. It is usually one visit, costs less per tooth, lasts around 5 to 10 years, and can discolor over time. Compare the two in more detail on our cosmetic bonding page.
If a tooth is structurally compromised rather than simply unattractive, a full-coverage restoration may protect it better than a veneer. Dr. Borshch will tell you which category your case falls into.
Porcelain Veneers: Common Questions
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Well-made porcelain veneers last 10 to 15 years and often longer. Longevity depends more on your habits than on the porcelain. Nightly grinding, biting hard objects, and skipped hygiene visits shorten the lifespan of any veneer.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Most patients report little or no discomfort. Preparation is minimal and performed under local anesthetic. Some temporary sensitivity to cold in the days after placement is normal and resolves on its own.
How many visits does it take?
Most cases take two visits over two to three weeks: one for design and preparation, one for bonding. Selected cases can be completed in a single visit.
Do veneers ruin your natural teeth?
No. Following the Style Italiano™ method we remove only the enamel the case requires, sometimes none at all. The tooth stays intact beneath the porcelain and remains healthy with normal brushing and flossing.
Will my veneers look fake?
Not if they are designed correctly. Natural-looking veneers come from getting shade, translucency, length, and tooth proportion right for your face. You will approve a digital preview of the design before any porcelain is made.
Should I whiten my teeth before getting veneers?
Yes, if you plan to whiten at all. Porcelain does not respond to whitening agents, so we brighten your natural teeth with professional whitening first and then match the veneer shade to that result.
Can I get veneers if I grind my teeth?
Usually yes. Grinding does not disqualify you, but a custom night guard becomes part of the treatment plan to protect the porcelain and your bite.
How do I care for veneers?
Brush and floss daily as normal, avoid biting hard objects such as ice or pens, and keep regular hygiene visits. No special products are required.
