Porcelain Veneers · Miami Porcelain veneers, designed for your face.

With proper care — twice-daily brushing, daily flossing, 6-month professional cleanings, and avoiding biting hard objects — porcelain veneers at Art Dental Studio typically last 15-20+ years. Many patients see longer lifespans. Our use of high-grade ceramics and proper bonding technique are the biggest factors in long-term success.

This is exactly why master ceramist Enrique works in-house. Each veneer is hand-painted to match your specific aesthetic — not pulled from a catalog. The most common feedback from our patients is that friends and family notice they look better but cannot tell what changed. We avoid the uniform "veneer smile" look at all costs.

No. A thin layer of natural enamel (0.3-0.7 mm) is removed to bond them, and that enamel does not regenerate. The veneers themselves can be replaced when they reach end of life, but the underlying preparation is permanent. This is why we spend so much time on case planning before any irreversible work begins.

For mild misalignment, yes — veneers can disguise minor crowding or rotation while reshaping the smile. For moderate or severe misalignment, we usually recommend orthodontic correction (Invisalign or braces) first, then veneers. Trying to disguise severe misalignment with veneers alone often produces compromised aesthetics and excessive tooth reduction.

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.

If your only concern is color, professional whitening is significantly less invasive and highly effective for natural-tooth discoloration. Veneers become the right choice when you also want to change shape, size, alignment or texture — or when whitening cannot lift the underlying color (severe tetracycline staining, internal discoloration from trauma or root canal treatment).

It depends on how many teeth you treat, the material (feldspathic, e.max or zirconia), whether you need whitening, gum or bite work first, and the craftsmanship involved. Because every case is different, we do not publish prices: your free consultation includes a transparent, written estimate built around your case. Monthly payment plans are available through CareCredit, Cherry, Alphaeon and Happen Bank (formerly LendingClub). Our veneers cost guide and financing page, linked below, explain both in detail.

It depends on your smile and your goal. One or two veneers can fix a single chipped, worn or discolored tooth — the challenge there is matching the neighboring teeth, which is where hand-layered porcelain helps. For a full makeover, the usual approach is to cover the teeth that show when you smile, which for many people means the upper front six to ten teeth, and sometimes the lower ones too. Your digital smile preview shows exactly which teeth are involved before you decide.

Most patients find it easier than they expected. Tooth preparation is done under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the appointment, and only a thin layer of enamel is removed. Afterwards, mild sensitivity to hot and cold for one to two weeks is common and usually fades on its own. If dental visits make you anxious, tell us at your consultation so we can plan around it.

For front teeth, e.max (lithium disilicate) or hand-layered feldspathic porcelain usually looks more natural, because both let light through the way enamel does. Zirconia is stronger but more opaque, so it is generally reserved for very heavy bites or back teeth. The right material depends on your bite and the shade of your teeth underneath, and it is chosen after your exam.

Because the person making your veneers can actually see you. Enrique works on-site, so he can study your face, skin tone and smile in person, adjust shade and shape during the process, and refine details without shipping the work back and forth to an outside lab. That is how veneers end up looking like your own teeth — only better — instead of a generic, uniform set.

No — professional whitening only affects natural enamel. Veneers stay the shade they were when they were placed. That is why we whiten your natural teeth first, before the veneers go on, so the match holds over time.

Porcelain is highly stain-resistant — much more than natural enamel. The veneers themselves typically maintain their color for the full lifespan. What can stain is the cement line at the gum if you smoke heavily or consume large amounts of red wine, coffee or tea over years.

Yes. We offer financing options with monthly payment plans. Terms vary with case size. You can review the options that fit your plan during the free consultation.
