Frequently Asked Questions

FORME Dental is a single-chair concierge practice at 575 Madison Avenue. We see one patient at a time, which means your appointment is never rushed. There are no waiting rooms full of strangers, no being handed off to an assistant mid-treatment. Every visit is with Dr. Henry Fung or Dr. Tony Voong directly — from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.

Concierge dentistry means you receive personalized, unhurried care without the feel of a high-volume clinic. At FORME, your appointment time is yours entirely. We focus on building a long-term relationship with you, understanding your goals, and creating a treatment plan that fits your life — not a template.

We are located at 575 Madison Avenue, Suite 1503, New York, NY 10022 — in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, steps from Grand Central and easily accessible from all major subway lines.

Yes, we are currently welcoming new patients. We recommend booking a comprehensive exam as your first visit so we can fully understand your dental health and goals before recommending any treatment.

Porcelain veneers in New York City typically range from $1,500 to $2,500 per tooth depending on the complexity of your case and the number of veneers needed. At FORME Dental, we provide a full consultation and digital smile preview before any treatment begins so you know exactly what to expect.

Veneers are thin porcelain shells permanently bonded to the front of your teeth — they are highly durable, stain-resistant, and last 10–20 years with proper care. Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin applied directly to the tooth — it is less expensive and requires no enamel removal, but is less durable and may stain over time. The right choice depends on your goals, budget, and how many teeth are involved.

With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years. We recommend avoiding biting hard objects, wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth, and maintaining regular cleanings to maximize their longevity.

Yes. Professional in-office whitening is safe when performed by a dentist. At FORME Dental we use professional-grade whitening that is significantly more effective than over-the-counter products. We assess your enamel and gum health before treatment to ensure you are a good candidate.

Zoom is an in-office whitening system that uses a light-activated gel to whiten teeth by several shades in a single appointment — typically 60 to 90 minutes. Results are immediate and significantly more dramatic than at-home kits.

Invisalign in New York City typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,500 depending on the complexity of your case and the duration of treatment. At FORME Dental, we provide a full digital smile assessment and personalized treatment plan during your consultation so you receive an accurate quote for your specific needs.

Most patients complete Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months, though mild cases can be resolved in as little as 6 months. Your treatment timeline depends on the complexity of your bite and how consistently you wear your aligners — we recommend 20 to 22 hours per day.

Most patients experience mild pressure or discomfort for the first few days after switching to a new set of aligners — this is normal and signals that your teeth are moving. It typically resolves within 2 to 3 days. Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces because there are no metal wires or brackets.

Invisalign is effective for most mild to moderate alignment issues including crowding, spacing, and certain bite corrections. The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation — we use 3D digital imaging to assess your teeth and show you a preview of your results before you commit to treatment.

A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth and is used primarily for cosmetic improvements. A crown covers the entire tooth and is used when a tooth is significantly damaged, decayed, or has had a root canal. Crowns provide structural protection in addition to improving appearance.

Root canal therapy has a reputation for being painful, but with modern techniques and local anesthesia most patients report that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. The pain people associate with root canals is usually from the infection itself — the treatment relieves that pain.

Porcelain crowns typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Longevity depends on your oral hygiene, whether you grind your teeth, and regular dental checkups. We always use high-quality materials and precision fit to ensure your crown lasts as long as possible.

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every 6 months. However, patients with a history of gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or certain medical conditions may need cleanings every 3 to 4 months. We will recommend the right schedule based on your individual oral health.

A comprehensive exam at FORME Dental includes a full evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw, digital X-rays, oral cancer screening, and a detailed discussion of your dental health goals. We take the time to explain everything we find and answer all your questions — your first visit is never rushed.
