Celebrity cosmetic dentist Dr. Carteris Austin, known as the “Queen of Smiles,” has created stunning smiles for celebrities like Cardi B and boxing champion Clarissa Shields.
Since 1999, she has specialized in porcelain veneer smile transformations and continues to innovate the patient experience. Recently, Dr. Austin partnered with Neer Veneers™ to introduce a safe, affordable, and tooth-preparation-free porcelain veneer option for patients in the New York/tri-state area and her hometown of Flint, Michigan.
Neer Veneers offers a revolutionary cosmetic dentistry option: 10 veneers for the upper jaw start at just $5,000, while traditional porcelain veneers often cost over $20,000.
The entire treatment takes just two visits and requires no drilling, injections, or removal of healthy tooth enamel. Neer Veneers is an ideal choice for patients who desire a perfect smile but are concerned about pain, fear, or the high cost.
Dr. Austin says she offers Neer veneers in response to the growing trend of dental tourism and the prevalence of unlicensed veneer technicians.
“Too many patients, seeking a low price, trust the wrong practitioner, resulting in irreversible damage or costly complications,” Dr. Austin says. “By partnering with Neer, I can offer my patients a safe, beautiful, and affordable solution so they can smile with pride, all without leaving home.”
The Neer Veneers digital process begins with a high-resolution oral scan, followed by a custom smile design with precise color and shape selection. Within one to two weeks, the custom veneers are bonded to the patient’s natural teeth, providing an immediate, natural-looking improvement.
This innovation has also made Dr. Austin delighted with her mother, Michelle’s, smile. “I feel like a celebrity,” Michelle said. “At 72, I can’t believe there’s a way to restore my smile—painless, needle-free, drill-free, and as natural as my teeth!”
Neer veneers are made from a proprietary hybrid porcelain composite that combines beauty, strength, and flexibility. Their ultra-thin design blends seamlessly with natural teeth, protecting enamel and maximizing comfort.
Dr. Austin is also the author of “Porcelain Veneers Exposed” and “Porcelain Veneers and Clear Aligners,” the host of the “Let’s Talk About Smiles” podcast, and has appeared on the Today Show, The Dr. Oz Show, Discovery Health, and VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop New York.”
She is dedicated to raising awareness about safe, conservative cosmetic dental options to help patients protect their health and their investment.
