History

Established in 1975.

In the early years of his practice, Dr. Veligdan was among the first dentists to perform cosmetic bonding, bleaching and teeth whitening procedures. He studied with internationally-​renowned prosthodontist, Dr. I. Franklin Miller. In 1977 Dr. Veligdan began teaching at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine where he continued for 24 years as Clinical Professor. His expertise was Cosmetics, Veneers, Crowns and Implants. He was on the staff at Presbyterian Hospital for 19 years.

In the 1980s, Dr. Robert Veligdan was one of the first three dentists that pioneered a breakthrough cosmetic and minimally-​invasive technique — Porcelain Laminate Veneers. Commonplace now but revolutionary at the time, porcelain laminate veneers gave dentists a more esthetically pleasing and less invasive way than traditional caps and crowns to improve their patients’ smiles. They are more durable and beautiful than composite bonding. Dr. Veligdan developed many of the cosmetic techniques.
