Pricing & Financing

Every smile transformation is different, so we do not publish prices. The investment depends on the number of porcelain veneers, crowns or additional treatments included in your personalized plan. Your free consultation includes a written estimate so you know exactly what to expect before treatment begins.

Choosing a Cosmetic Dentist in Miami

To choose the best cosmetic dentist in Miami, look for verifiable before-and-after photos of their own patients, accreditation from the AACD and ADA, a digital smile-design process where you approve the result before treatment begins, and control over the lab work — ideally an in-house ceramist. Avoid same-day pressure. At Art Dental Studio, Dr. Vivian Menendez (ADA · AACD · Invisalign Preferred Provider) leads a multi-specialty team, and every porcelain veneer is hand-crafted in-house by master ceramist Enrique.

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of the teeth — they are more durable (15 to 20+ years), stain-resistant and the most natural-looking. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth in a single visit and are more affordable, but they wear and stain faster. Porcelain is the standard for full smile-design transformations.

Most smile makeovers use between 6 and 10 veneers across the teeth that show when you smile. Some patients only need one or two to fix a chip or a gap. The exact number is determined at your free consultation based on your smile line and goals.

Veneers look natural when they are designed around your face — your skin tone, facial shape and bite — rather than from a one-size template. The closer the dentist works with the ceramist, the better the match. At Art Dental Studio our in-house master ceramist Enrique hand-paints every veneer on-site, which is why our smile makeovers look like your own teeth, not someone else's.

Porcelain Veneers & Smile Design

Porcelain veneers from Art Dental Studio typically last 15 to 20+ years with proper care. Proper care means brushing, flossing, regular check-ups every 6 months and avoiding biting hard objects like ice or pen caps. Our in-house master ceramist Enrique hand-paints each veneer using high-grade porcelain that resists staining and chipping.

Veneers are considered a permanent restoration because a thin layer of natural tooth enamel (typically 0.3 to 0.7 mm) is gently removed to bond them. The veneers themselves can be replaced when they reach the end of their lifespan, but the underlying enamel preparation cannot be reversed. This is why we spend so much time on case planning before any work begins.

A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth and is primarily a cosmetic treatment. A crown covers the entire tooth (360°) and is used when there is significant damage, after a root canal, or when the tooth needs structural reinforcement. During your consultation, Dr. Vivian Menendez will recommend whichever option best fits the condition of each tooth.

Treatment duration varies depending on the specific needs of each patient. During your free consultation, we will evaluate your case and give you a personalized treatment plan with an accurate timeline.

Art Dental Studio hand-crafts veneers in-house because customization to each patient's face produces more natural results than outsourced lab work. Our master ceramist Enrique paints every veneer on-site to match each patient's skin tone, facial shape and personal aesthetic. Most dental practices in Miami outsource their porcelain work — we don't. This is the single biggest reason our smile makeovers look natural rather than uniform.

Implants & All-on-4

All-on-4 pricing varies based on the materials chosen (acrylic vs. zirconia bridge), whether one arch or both arches are treated, and whether bone grafting is needed. We provide a full transparent estimate during your free consultation. Financing options with monthly payment plans are available.

The procedure is performed under sedation, so most patients do not feel pain during treatment. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild to moderate and is managed with prescribed medication. Most patients return to normal daily activities within about a week, though recovery varies from person to person. You leave with temporary teeth the same day — you never go without a smile.

A single dental implant typically lasts 25 years or more with proper care, and many last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses with your jawbone through osseointegration, becoming a permanent foundation. The crown on top of the implant may need replacement after 15-20 years.

Most denture wearers are excellent candidates for All-on-4. The procedure replaces removable dentures with a fixed, non-removable set of teeth supported by only 4 implants per arch. You eat, speak and smile like you did with your natural teeth — no adhesives, no removal at night. Dr. Vivian Menendez will evaluate your bone density and overall health during the free consultation.

Orthodontics & Invisalign

Invisalign pricing depends on case complexity and treatment length. Simple cases (mild crowding, minor spacing) start lower; complex cases (full bite correction) require more aligners. As an Invisalign Preferred Provider, we offer access to all Invisalign treatment options. Free consultation includes a 3D scan and personalized quote.

Treatment duration varies depending on the specific needs of each patient. During your free consultation, we will evaluate your case and give you a personalized treatment plan with an accurate timeline.

For most adult patients, Invisalign offers the same results as traditional braces with fewer aesthetic and lifestyle compromises — the aligners are removable for eating, brushing and special occasions. For very complex cases (severe bite issues, rotated teeth, surgical orthodontics) traditional braces or sapphire braces may produce more predictable results. Dr. Yilian, our orthodontist, will recommend the right option for your case.
