Over the past two decades, the popularity of porcelain veneers has skyrocketed. The transformative power of veneers, combined with the durability and aesthetic desirability of porcelain, has led thousands of adults to make their smiles over with this extraordinary treatment. Indeed, the omnipresence of these remarkable tooth restorations in movies, television programs, and other media have caused porcelain veneers to become practically a household phrase.

Like most other cosmetic dentistry treatments, however, the success of the treatment rises and falls on the skill and artistic eye of the dentist to whom you entrust your teeth. While the veneers themselves are manufactured at an outside dental laboratory, the specifications are provided by the cosmetic dentist overseeing the patient’s care. In order for your porcelain veneers to complement your surrounding natural teeth rather than standing out conspicuously, your dentist has to have the talent and experience to analyze your teeth, mouth, and facial structure and design your porcelain veneers accordingly.

At his cosmetic dentistry practice serving Manhattan and all of New York, Dr. Peter Rubinstein understands that there is more to crafting the perfect porcelain veneer than simply color-matching them to surrounding teeth. He takes into account the texture, size, and shape of the teeth and how these elements intersect to form the smile. He then provides detailed instructions to the dental lab as to how the new teeth should be crafted so that they essentially complete the patient’s ideal smile. Just as no two smiles are identical, no two veneers should be identical, either.

For those patients who wish to undergo a more comprehensive smile makeover, Dr. Rubinstein can treat surrounding teeth with teeth whitening, dental crowns, or dental implants and then customize their porcelain veneers to match these newly restored teeth. Dr. Rubinstein consistently produces natural-looking, stunning results.
