Patient's Testimonials about Smile Transformation



What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?


Porcelain veneers address aesthetic and structural concerns simultaneously. Because ceramic is inherently stain-resistant, veneers maintain their color and brightness far longer than natural enamel or composite bonding — making them particularly well suited for patients who have been disappointed by whitening results. They reflect light with the same depth and translucency as natural enamel, which is why a well-crafted veneer is undetectable even at close range.


Beyond cosmetics, veneers can provide meaningful structural benefit for teeth with worn, eroded, or chipped enamel — reinforcing the tooth surface while restoring its original shape and length. For patients who would otherwise require orthodontic treatment to address minor crowding or spacing, a carefully planned set of veneers can achieve comparable aesthetic outcomes in a fraction of the time, without brackets or aligners. When designed conservatively and bonded with precision, porcelain veneers routinely last 15 years or more with proper home care and regular maintenance visits — making them one of the most durable cosmetic investments in dentistry.



Discoloration caused by root canal treatment, excessive fluoride, large fillings, or certain medications.


Gaps or spaces between teeth, along with minor misalignment or crowding, can affect both the balance and harmony of your smile.


Worn or eroded enamel, as well as chipped or broken teeth, can compromise both the appearance and strength of your smile.


In cases where minimal tooth preparation is needed, temporary veneers may not be necessary. Once the final veneers are complete, typically within a few weeks, they are carefully bonded, polished, and adjusted for a seamless, natural look.

Porcelain Veneers NYC: Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cost of Porcelain Veneers Covered by Dental Insurance?

Porcelain veneers are generally not covered by insurance as they are considered a cosmetic treatment. However, some plans may cover portions if medically necessary.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost in NYC?

Porcelain veneers in NYC typically range from $1,000 to $2,500 per tooth, depending on the dentist’s expertise, materials, and complexity of the case.

What Can I Expect During the Recovery Period After Getting Veneers?

Recovery is minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately. Mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods may occur but usually resolves within a few days.

How Many Appointments Are Required for the Porcelain Veneers Procedure?

Typically, two to three appointments are needed: one for consultation and preparation, another for creating the veneers, and a final visit for placement and adjustments.

What Happens to Teeth Under Veneers?

Teeth under veneers remain intact but are slightly reshaped to allow for the veneer’s placement. Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to prevent decay or gum issues around the veneers.

How Long Do Dental Veneers Last? Are Veneers Permanent?

Porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care. While they are not considered permanent, they are a long-term solution, and the procedure is irreversible due to enamel removal.

I have received a few services from Dr.Lazare’s office. As soon as I entered their office, I was greeted by their very sweet office administrator, Samantha- who took my information and offered me water. Dr. Lazare was very kind and funny. He’s worked on my teeth and has honestly been the best dentist that I’ve received treatment from. He takes his time and explains everything throughly. I also had a great experience with their hygienist, Therese. While performing my oral cleaning I felt no pain and it was the best oral cleaning I’ve ever had performed. The checking out process with Samantha was quick and easy. Overall Dr.Lazare’s office is very clean, friendly and dedicated to their work for their patients.
