Porcelain Veneers Upper East Side

At Madison Dental Spa, porcelain veneers are created in partnership with Peter Kouvaris, a master ceramist who works with the practice. Dr. Eric Chason, DDS, has collaborated with Peter for five years, and that relationship is what separates the results here from what you'll find at other Upper East Side cosmetic dentistry practices. Custom porcelain veneers can correct chips, cracks, gaps, stains, and uneven teeth in a process designed around your smile specifically. Call the office or book a consultation online today.

The Peter Kouvaris Difference

Most dental practices send impressions to an outside lab and never meet the person making your veneers. At Madison Dental Spa, your porcelain veneers are crafted by Peter Kouvaris, a master ceramist with over 35 years of experience and a rare level of recognition in his field.

Peter trained under Willi Geller, widely regarded as the master's master of dental ceramics, and is a proud member of the Oral Design International Foundation. He has lectured at NYU College of Dentistry for 25 years and currently teaches Full Mouth Reconstruction and Aesthetics to continuing education programs there. His peers consider him one of the foremost ceramics technicians in the field.

Dr. Chason has collaborated with Peter for five years. The relationship started when Dr. Chason chose Peter to create veneers for his own wife. That should tell you something.

What makes Peter's work different is his understanding of function alongside aesthetics. He designs each veneer to fit the way a patient actually bites and moves, which is what makes results look vital and natural rather than placed. And unlike a typical lab arrangement, Peter comes into the office while patients are wearing their temporary veneers to personally review shade and discuss what they like and want adjusted before the final set is made. That level of involvement is uncommon in cosmetic dentistry anywhere in New York City.

What Porcelain Veneers Can Correct

Veneers are a strong option for patients on the Upper East Side looking to improve their smile when their underlying teeth are healthy. Dr. Chason may recommend custom porcelain veneers for:

• Chips or cracks
• Gaps between teeth
• Stains or discoloration that whitening cannot resolve
• Teeth that are too small or slightly crooked
• An uneven or asymmetrical smile

For patients considering a more comprehensive smile makeover, Dr. Chason can discuss combining veneers with other cosmetic dentistry services during your consultation. If you have severe decay or are missing teeth, he will discuss whether implants or another restorative approach makes more sense first.

What to Expect: From Consultation to Final Smile

Your first appointment with Dr. Chason runs about an hour. He takes the time to understand your concerns and goals on a personal level, because you will be working closely together throughout the process. The consultation includes an iTero digital scan, X-rays, photos, and a clinical exam. You will leave with a clear treatment plan and a scheduled prep date.

From there the process moves through five stages: consultation, preparation and temporary veneers, a review of the temps with Peter Kouvaris, final placement, and a follow-up appointment that includes fabrication of retainers to protect the porcelain long-term. A wax-up is created after the consultation to serve as your smile design blueprint, and it can be refined at any point before the final veneers are made.

With proper care, natural-looking porcelain veneers can last 25 years or more.
