Porcelain Veneers Brooklyn — Smile Design by Dr. Natalia
Custom-shade porcelain veneers, Lumineers, and composite veneers at our 2384 Ocean Avenue office in Sheepshead Bay. NYU-trained Dr. Natalia Blazhkevich, DDS designs smiles in-house — digital preview before treatment, 5 languages, CareCredit financing.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells of dental-grade ceramic bonded to the front of your teeth. They cover chips, gaps, stains, uneven edges, and minor misalignment — instantly transforming the shape, color, and symmetry of your smile. Because porcelain reflects light the way natural enamel does, well-made veneers are indistinguishable from natural teeth, even up close.
At Eco Dental NY in Brooklyn 11229, every veneer is custom-designed for your face shape, skin tone, and personal aesthetic. Dr. Natalia uses a digital preview so you see exactly what your smile will look like before committing to treatment. No guesswork. No regret.
Who is a good candidate for porcelain veneers?
Veneers are a cosmetic procedure, so the right candidate is someone whose teeth are healthy underneath but cosmetically imperfect:
- Discolored or yellowed teeth that haven’t responded to professional whitening
- Chipped, worn, or uneven front teeth from grinding or wear
- Gaps between front teeth that you’d rather not close with braces
- Minor crowding or rotation — too small for veneers to fix? We’ll recommend Invisalign first
- Misshapen teeth — pegged, short, or unusually narrow
- Old composite bonding that has stained, chipped, or worn unevenly
- Considering a full smile makeover for a wedding, professional headshot, or simply because you’ve waited long enough
Not a candidate yet? If you grind your teeth heavily (without a night guard), have active gum disease, or have major decay, we’ll address those first. Strong veneers are built on a healthy foundation.
The porcelain veneer process at Eco Dental NY
Step 1: Free smile consultation
Call (718) 368-3368 or book online. Dr. Natalia listens to what bothers you about your smile, examines your teeth and gums, takes photos, and discusses realistic outcomes.
Step 2: Digital smile preview
Using digital design software, we create a preview of your new smile based on your face shape, skin tone, lip line, and personal taste. You see the result before any tooth is touched. We adjust shape, length, and shade until it’s exactly right.
Step 3: Tooth preparation (minimal)
For traditional porcelain veneers, we remove a thin layer of enamel — usually about half a millimeter — so the veneer sits flush with surrounding teeth. For Lumineers and no-prep options, even less is removed. Temporary veneers protect the teeth during the lab-fabrication phase.
Step 4: Custom lab fabrication
Your impressions and design specifications go to our trusted dental ceramist. They hand-craft each veneer over 2 to 3 weeks, matching the agreed-upon shade, translucency, and surface texture.
Step 5: Bonding day — your new smile
You return for the placement appointment. We try the veneers in dry first to confirm fit and color, then permanently bond each one with dental adhesive. The transformation is immediate — you leave with a complete new smile.
Types of veneers we offer in Brooklyn
Traditional porcelain veneers
The gold standard. Thin shells of high-strength dental porcelain, custom-shaded and bonded to your front teeth. Last 10 to 15 years or more with proper care. Best for cases needing color, shape, and minor alignment correction.
Lumineers (no-prep veneers)
Ultra-thin porcelain (about 0.3 mm) that requires little to no enamel removal. Reversible in many cases. Best for patients with already well-shaped teeth who want a color and brightness upgrade.
Composite veneers
Sculpted from tooth-colored composite resin in a single visit. More affordable than porcelain, but less stain-resistant and shorter-lived (typically 5 to 7 years). A good entry-level option.
Full smile makeover
Combining veneers with professional whitening, gum contouring, or Invisalign for a complete transformation. Custom-planned across multiple visits.
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Brooklyn?
Most patients at Eco Dental NY pay between $1,200 and $2,500 per porcelain veneer, depending on type and complexity. A full top-arch smile makeover (8 to 10 veneers) typically runs $10,000 to $25,000. Lumineers are slightly less; composite veneers run $400 to $900 each.
Veneers are considered cosmetic by most insurance plans and are generally not covered, but we’ll verify your specific benefits — some plans contribute when a veneer also restores a fractured tooth. CareCredit financing spreads the cost across 6, 12, 18, or 60 months with promotional interest-free options.

“I’d hated my smile for 20 years. Dr. Natalia did six porcelain veneers and the result is exactly what I asked for — natural, brighter, evenly shaped. People notice my smile now, not the gap.”

Porcelain veneer FAQs
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Well-cared-for porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years, and many last 20+ years. Lumineers can last 15 years. Composite veneers usually need replacement after 5 to 7 years. Brushing twice daily, flossing, avoiding teeth-grinding, and skipping nail-biting all extend lifespan.
Are porcelain veneers painful to get?
The procedure itself is painless — we use local anesthesia. Mild sensitivity to hot and cold can last a few days after the tooth-preparation appointment, but most patients return to normal eating and drinking within 24 to 48 hours.
Will my veneers look fake?
No — and that’s the point. Modern porcelain veneers reflect light the way natural enamel does, with translucency and subtle variation. Dr. Natalia designs each veneer to match your face, skin tone, and the surrounding natural teeth. The result should look like your smile, just better.
Can I whiten my teeth after getting veneers?
The veneers themselves won’t change color, so plan your shade carefully upfront. If you want a brighter smile, whiten your natural teeth before the veneer shade is finalized. Once veneers are bonded, only the natural teeth around them will respond to future whitening.
Do you accept insurance for veneers?
Most insurance plans classify veneers as cosmetic and don’t cover them. However, some plans contribute when a veneer also restores a chipped or fractured tooth. We accept 18 major insurance plans and will verify your specific benefits before treatment. CareCredit financing covers the out-of-pocket portion across manageable monthly payments.
How many veneers will I need?
Most smile makeovers involve 6 to 10 veneers on the upper teeth (the ones most visible when you smile). Sometimes just 2 to 4 are needed to correct a specific cosmetic issue. Dr. Natalia recommends only what your goals actually require — never more.
