Porcelain Veneers In NYC by Viviane Trinh, DDS
First impressions are important. Your smile is one of the most noticed features. More than ever, the public is turning to our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Viviane Trinh, for help in improving the appearance of their teeth.
Receiving porcelain veneers in NYC has grown in popularity over the years due to their ability to solve a number of aesthetic issues. Previously, the only cosmetic options were to either have your teeth whitening or braces. Now, with the technological boom, porcelain veneers are not only visibly brightening your smile, but also correct misaligned teeth without having the longevity and occasional
Porcelain veneers treat the following:
|
Teeth with a worn down or older appearance |
Broken or chipped teeth |
Irregularly shaped teeth |
Misaligned or uneven teeth |
Gaps between teeth |
Stained or discolored teeth due to medicines, food and other factors |
Discoloration due to old resin fillings |
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth like materials specifically created to cover the front surface of the tooth. Once these shells are bound to the tooth, they change the color, shape, size and length of the tooth. There are two types of dental veneers: porcelain and resin. Porcelain, however, are preferred because of the stain resistant qualities of the material and the gums tolerate it better than resin.
How do porcelain veneers work?
In order to create porcelain veneers, Dr. Trinh will have to remove some enamel off the tooth before bonding the porcelain shells. We do this so that the overall thickness of your tooth remains the same once the veneers are in the place. During the process, the patient may feel sensitivity and Dr. Trinh may opt to use some numbing agents to address this sensation. One of our high-tech dentistry tools is the Magic Wand, which is a painless computerized dental shot. In recent years, a new kind of porcelain veneer called Lumineers offers the benefits of veneers without initially removing the enamel. These specific types of shells are thin enough that no special preparation is needed. Only certain patients with small teeth or gaps between the teeth will candidates for Lumineers.

Excellent treatment, felt super safe and clean in Corona times as well, thank you for everything!
Dr. Trinh made my trip to the dentist extremely enjoyable. She was very professional, upbeat and thoughtful: she took the time to explain me the what and why of each treatments. I got to learn new things besides getting my teeth fixed. I would highly recommend Dr. Trinh to anyone!
Dr. Trinh is fantastic. Capable, friendly, and thorough. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal experience with Viviane the other week! Great attention to detail and I learned a few things about the affects of eating too much bread on my teeth 🙂
I’m so happy with my decision on choosing this Dentist. Literally the best dentist I have ever been to. So gentle and makes you feel at ease. Thank you for making me so comfortable.
Dr. Trinh was amazing. She was very thorough and thoughtful. She crossed every T and dotted every i. She listened to all of my concerns and made my experience a beautiful one. I will be returning.
Dr. Trinh is far and away the best dentist I’ve ever been too. And I used to see one of the best dentists in the Tri-State area. The quality of her work is not only first-rate but when you combine that with her professionalism and friendliness it’s no coincidence she’s at the top of her field. I highly recommend her!
Viviane is an absolute professional and someone who takes her work incredibly seriously. She is thorough, kind, and most of all someone I trust implicitly. I could not be happier with my experience thus far and would recommend her to anybody looking for a top dentist!
