About

Dr. Pia Lieb, DDS, is a dentist specializing in cosmetic dentistry in New York, New York. She focuses on no-drilling veneers, a cornerstone of her signature "Dr. Pia Method." This conservative approach ensures no drilling, no shaving healthy enamel, and no irreversible damage, preserving the natural tooth structure. Dr. Lieb's practice emphasizes handmade porcelain veneers, where patients actively choose the color, shape, and size. Patients wear a trial smile for a full week to ensure satisfaction; if not loved, they start over, and their original teeth remain untouched. Dr. Lieb sees only one patient per day, providing a quiet, unhurried environment where each case receives her full attention from start to finish. Her philosophy prioritizes natural-looking results, believing that beautiful and functional outcomes are the same when done correctly. For patient comfort, the practice's dog, Massimo, serves as an unofficial anxiety protocol, with patients' blood pressure consistently dropping during longer appointments. Dr. Lieb has over 30 years of experience in cosmetic dentistry and taught at NYU for 18 years as a Clinic Assistant Professor Emerita.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Pia Lieb

Sourced directly from Dr. Pia Lieb's social posts and replies.

How many visits are required for Dr. Pia's porcelain veneers?
The porcelain veneer process typically requires two visits from start to finish.
Source →
Does the Dr. Pia Method for veneers involve anesthesia (shots)?
No, the Dr. Pia Method for porcelain veneers typically does not require shots (anesthesia).
Source →
Are temporary veneers used with the Dr. Pia Method?
No, the Dr. Pia Method for porcelain veneers does not involve the use of temporaries.
Source →
Does Dr. Pia Lieb offer any specific protocols for dental anxiety?
Yes, the practice has an unofficial anxiety protocol involving Massimo, the practice's dog. Massimo often climbs onto patients during longer appointments, which has been observed to consistently lower patients' blood pressure. Dr. Lieb believes a calm patient achieves better dental results due to relaxed muscles, leading to better bite registration, photos, and veneers. Patients are encouraged to ask for Massimo when booking a smile consult.
Source →
How does dental bite affect overall body posture?
Dr. Lieb emphasizes that the bite significantly influences overall body posture, not just the smile. The jaw is a primary factor in the body's postural chain. An incorrect jaw position can lead to head shifts, neck strain, and compensatory body reorganization. For example, a protruded bite is linked to forward head posture and a tight neck, while a reverse bite causes the entire body's alignment to adjust. A balanced bite, conversely, allows the head to stack cleanly over the spine.
Source →
What is the trial period for Dr. Pia's veneers?
As part of the Dr. Pia Method, patients wear a trial smile (trial veneers) for one full week before committing. During this period, patients are encouraged to eat, laugh, and show their new smile to others to ensure it feels right. If a patient doesn't love their trial smile, the practice will start over or refine it. Crucially, if the patient decides not to proceed after the trial, their original teeth will be exactly as they were before the process, as no enamel is touched.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$53

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Pia Lieb received $53 across 1 payment in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Dentsply Sirona Inc.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

What areas of care does Dr. Pia Lieb cater to?
Dr. Lieb specializes in cosmetic dentistry, offering services such as no-drilling veneers and injectables. She also provides general dental care advice on brushing, flossing, gum health, and other dental hygiene practices. Her signature 'Dr. Pia Method' for no-drill, no-prep porcelain veneers is a cornerstone of her practice. This conservative approach ensures no drilling, no shaving down healthy enamel, and no irreversible damage, preserving the natural tooth structure. Veneers are bonded on, not carved, and are designed to be thin, natural porcelain, handmade by a master ceramist. Each layer is shaped to mimic real enamel's light reflection, with subtle translucency at the edges and warmth at the core. Dr. Lieb's philosophy prioritizes natural-looking results over 'perfect teeth,' aiming for veneers that appear as if they were always part of the patient's mouth, believing that beautiful and functional outcomes are one and the same when done correctly. Patients are actively involved in choosing the color, shape, and size of their veneers.
