Cracked, stained, or uneven teeth? Reshape your smile with custom porcelain veneers at Smile Lab, led by cosmetic dentist Dr. Parsa Basseri.
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct stains, chips, gaps, and uneven shape. At our Union Square practice, cosmetic dentist Dr. Parsa Basseri designs and places each one by hand.
If you have been searching for porcelain veneers near me and want a natural-looking result, you are in the right place. The laminates are built to match the color, translucency, and feel of your own enamel.
Stained or discolored teeth can chip away at your confidence at work and in social settings. Covering the front of those teeth with ceramic veneers, or with dental bonding for lighter cases, is a proven fix.
Dr. Basseri earned his doctorate in dental surgery with honors in esthetics from New York University, and he personally handles every placement.
Veneers are thin coverings, made from ceramic or resin, that sit over the front of specific teeth. They hide cosmetic flaws so you can show a full, even smile.
Ceramic laminates also resist staining better than natural enamel and need no special upkeep to stay bright. Dental veneers Manhattan patients choose most often can correct a range of concerns, including:
During your consultation, Dr. Basseri walks you through the option that fits your goals, budget, and enamel condition.
Patients often ask which treatment they actually need. The short answer: veneers cover the front of a healthy tooth for cosmetic reasons, bonding patches a smaller spot, and a crown wraps a structurally weak tooth.
Bonding uses the same resin as composite veneers but covers a smaller area, so it is quicker and cheaper for a single chip or gap. A dental crown is the better route when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or too weak to support a facing on its own.
Dr. Basseri confirms the right call after examining your teeth.
| Treatment | What it covers | Best for | Starting cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porcelain veneer | Full front surface of the tooth | Stains, gaps, chips, and shape on healthy teeth | $2,323 per tooth |
| Composite veneer | Full front surface of the tooth | Lighter cosmetic cases on a smaller budget | $950 per tooth |
| Dental bonding | A small section of one tooth | A single chip, crack, or gap | $950 |
| Dental crown | The entire tooth, all sides | Teeth too weak or damaged for a veneer | $1,950 per tooth |
All specialists under one roof means no referrals across the city, no conflicting treatment plans, and faster care start to finish. Your periodontal surgeon, endodontist, oral surgeon, and cosmetic dentist all work here and collaborate on your case.

A brand-new office with clean design, modern technology, and an atmosphere closer to a SoHo studio than a dental clinic.
Most porcelain veneers are permanent. With proper care, they last 10 to 15 years and cannot be removed once bonded, because a small amount of enamel is shaped away to fit them.
That said, no-prep and minimal-prep options are reversible, since they remove little or no enamel. Your dentist will tell you which type your case allows.
Every other ceramic laminate acts as a permanent cover for stained or discolored teeth, restoring both your look and your confidence.
Porcelain veneers at our Union Square office start at $2,323 per tooth. Composite (resin) veneers start at $950 per tooth, and single-tooth bonding starts at $950. Your final number depends on how many teeth you treat and the complexity of the case. Other Manhattan cosmetic practices price porcelain veneers anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 per tooth, so our starting price sits well below the high end of that range. Ceramic veneers are cosmetic, so most dental insurance does not cover them. We offer 0% financing so you can spread the cost, and we confirm the full price before any work begins.
| Option | Price | Chair time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porcelain veneer | $2,323 per tooth | About 1 hour | Most durable and natural-looking; lasts 10 to 15 years |
| Composite (resin) veneer | $950 per tooth | About 1 hour | Lower cost, placed in a single visit |
| Dental bonding | $950 | About 1 hour | Covers a smaller area than a full veneer |

Looking for a veneers dentist Manhattan patients actually trust, one that goes beyond a basic cosmetic clinic? We deliver precise, natural-looking work right in the heart of Union Square. Here is why thousands of New Yorkers trust us with their veneers in New York:
Dr. Parsa Basseri has over a decade of veneer placement experience and advanced esthetics training from NYU. We don't hand your case off to a lab tech. A cosmetic dentist who understands facial harmony and tooth anatomy personally designs and fits it.
Located near Flatiron and Gramercy, our office offers modern care in a calm, upscale setting, with flexible hours to fit your busy NYC schedule.
We have earned the trust of thousands of New Yorkers, with over 5,400 combined 5-star reviews across Google and Zocdoc. Patients love the detailed work, the welcoming team, and the natural results.
Here in Union Square, we take every precaution to keep patients safe and stay transparent about how we make and place laminates.
Here is a closer look at Dr. Basseri’s precise placement process.
We start with a full exam to identify the discolored teeth and assess their condition. This may include full-mouth X-rays and 3D imaging. Dr. Basseri then reviews the full treatment plan with you before anything begins.
Before taking an impression, the dentist shapes away a thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneer. The dentist applies local anesthesia first so you feel no pain or discomfort.
Next, the team captures a putty impression of the affected teeth. The team matches the color of the neighboring teeth to a shade guide, then sends both the impression and the shade to the lab for the permanent restoration.
While the permanent laminates are being made, Dr. Basseri fits temporaries chairside for you to wear—these last only a few weeks.
On your second visit, once the permanent set arrives, Dr. Basseri checks the color match again and carefully fits each veneer into place.

Although smile lab is new to me the location and my doctor are not. Luis, Kat, and Eleni were all fabulously hospitable and accommodating to all of my administrative needs during my appointment this afternoon. Dr. Parsa Basseri is probably the most meticulous dentist when it comes to having attention to detail! I am grateful to the entire team including everyone not directly mentioned for how you helped to address my front central #8. I’ll be back in two weeks for my permanent veneer. I’m not someone who’s easily satisfied but I’m leaving a happy girl again!

I needed a veneer replaced , Emergency! , and I have to say I was so well taken care of by the entire team. Everyone was so down to earth and pleasant. The Dentist did an amazing job and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. The assistants were very sweet as they ensured I was entertained by a movie and cool tv show recommendations! I highly recommend this place and team of awesome professionals

The facilities are state of the art, the team is warm and welcoming, and (most importantly) I found the quality of care to be exceptional. Dr. Basseri was meticulous, comprehensive, and patient in his approach, focusing on long-term, minimally invasive care. What really stood out to me is his impeccable bedside manner, so thorough and empathetic. My previous clinic was a popular “chain”, and they often tried to sell me expensive services that I didn’t need, but it really feels to me that the team at Smile Lab care about doing things right.

Go to smile lab!!! It is the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. Nervous putting this online because no one can tell I did anything cosmetic, but I can’t help but sing the praises of this place. I recently had a large cosmetic rebuild of my smile and chose Smile Lab to do it. Am over the moon happy with how it came out. My biggest fear was looking like I’d had my ‘teeth done’, but they look so natural that even my closest friends couldn’t tell, until I told them. Their reactions were more like, “wow, your smile is really popping right now” or “you are looking very handsome right now”. In other words, the surgery did exactly what I wanted it to. My smile looks completely natural and beautiful, and 1000x better than it was before. Dr. Abrahimi is a genius at this stuff. Him and the smile lab staff make me feel like superstar every time I come in. He’s also hip to all the cutting edge science in dentistry and is constantly implementing new practices to his regimen. Whether it be for a simple cleaning or a large surgery, go to this place! You will not regret it!

Amazing experience at the Smile lab! Everyone was friendly and super efficient. I went in for a cosmetic consultation for an Enameloplasty concern. Not only was I in and out within 45 minutes! (including consultation and procedure and filling out forms) they gave me EXACTLY what I requested. No pushing to change my opinion for something bigger and more expensive. I personally HATE the dentist and have a very small tolerance for pain and this experience was…. If I may say enjoyable! Thank you again to all the folks at the Smile lab.
As good as ceramic laminates are at hiding stains and discoloration, placement can still run into problems that require extra work. The worst is a veneer that comes back from the lab with a color or texture mismatch, then gets bonded before the mismatch is caught.
Put plainly, you want a certified dentist who is an expert at the craft and can handle any complication, even one that needs surgical support.

Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Many patients keep theirs longer with good hygiene and regular checkups.
Veneers need a natural tooth as a foundation. If you are missing teeth, we may recommend implants or bridges first, then use veneers for nearby cosmetic work. For a tooth that is still present but too weak to hold a veneer, a dental crown is usually the better fix. We will cover all your options at your consultation.
Not at all. The procedure is typically pain-free, and we use local anesthetic during tooth preparation. Some patients feel mild sensitivity afterward, but it usually fades within a few days.
Because porcelain veneers are cosmetic, dental insurance usually doesn’t cover them. We offer flexible payment options, including 0% financing, and review all costs with you upfront.
