Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the fastest ways to change how your smile looks. At Metropolitan Smile Design in Tamarac, FL, we design custom veneers that cover chips, stains, gaps and worn edges, so you get an even, natural-looking smile without years of treatment.
Patients come to us from across Broward County, including Coral Springs, Sunrise, Lauderhill and Margate. Our team is bilingual, English and Spanish, and every veneer case starts with a conversation about what you actually want to change.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are made from high-quality dental ceramic that mimics the translucency and texture of natural enamel, which is why a well-made veneer is hard to tell apart from a real tooth.
Unlike bonding, which is shaped by hand in a single visit, veneers are crafted in a dental lab to exact measurements. That is what gives them their strength, their stain resistance, and a lifespan of 10 to 15 years with good care.
Are You a Good Candidate for Veneers?
Veneers work best when your teeth and gums are healthy and the problem is mostly cosmetic. You may be a good fit if you have:
- Stains that whitening did not fix, including tetracycline discoloration
- Chipped, cracked or worn-down front teeth
- Small gaps you would rather not close with braces
- Teeth that are slightly crooked, uneven or too small
- Old bonding that has darkened over time
If you grind your teeth, have active gum disease, or need a cavity treated first, we take care of that before placing veneers. Building on an unhealthy foundation is the most common reason cosmetic work fails.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
- They fix several problems at once. Color, shape, size and small alignment issues all get corrected in the same treatment.
- They resist stains. Porcelain does not absorb pigment the way natural enamel and composite bonding do, so coffee, tea and red wine are much less of a threat.
- They look natural. Each veneer is shaded and shaped to match your face, not a generic template. Done right, nobody should be able to tell.
- They are conservative compared to crowns. A veneer covers the front of the tooth. A crown covers the whole thing. Veneers keep more of your natural tooth structure.
- They last. With regular cleanings, and a night guard if you grind, 10 to 15 years is a realistic expectation.
- The change is fast. Most cases are finished in two or three visits over a few weeks.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Veneers can effectively conceal a variety of cosmetic imperfections, including stains, discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and uneven teeth, creating a more uniform and attractive smile.
- Natural Appearance: Porcelain veneers are custom-designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless integration with your smile and a natural-looking result.
Our Porcelain Veneer Process:
Consultation and smile design. We talk about what bothers you, examine your teeth and gums, take photos and digital images, and confirm whether veneers are the right tool. This is also where we go over cost and payment options.
Custom design. We take impressions and design veneers to your specifications: shade, length, shape, and how much they show when you smile. Many patients preview the result before we begin.
Preparation. A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the front of the teeth so the veneers sit flush and do not look bulky. We keep this as conservative as the case allows.
Fabrication. Your veneers are crafted in a dental laboratory from high-quality porcelain. You wear temporaries in the meantime, so you are never without a smile.
Bonding. We check fit, shade and bite, then bond each veneer with a strong dental adhesive and polish the edges. You leave with the finished result.
How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost in Tamarac?
Veneer pricing depends on how many teeth you are treating and the condition they are in, so an exact number requires an exam. What we can promise is that you get the full cost in writing before any work begins. No surprises at the front desk.
Most dental insurance treats veneers as cosmetic and does not cover them, but there are ways to make it manageable:
- Financing through Cherry, CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit, including monthly payment plans
- Our in-house savings plan for patients without insurance
- Phasing the treatment, starting with the teeth that show the most
If part of your case is restorative rather than cosmetic, for example a cracked tooth that needs a crown, that portion may be covered. We verify your benefits for free before you commit to anything.
Common Questions About Veneers
Do veneers ruin your natural teeth?
No. A small amount of enamel is reshaped so the veneer fits properly, and that part is permanent, but the tooth underneath stays healthy and functional when the work is done well and maintained.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Usually 10 to 15 years, sometimes longer. What shortens their life is grinding, using your teeth as tools, and skipping cleanings.
Will my veneers look fake?
Only if they are designed that way. The too white, too square look comes from ignoring the patient’s face. We shade and shape veneers to match your features and the rest of your teeth.
Can I whiten my veneers later?
Porcelain does not respond to whitening. That is why we whiten your natural teeth first if you want a brighter shade, then match the veneers to it.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Preparation is done under local anesthetic and most patients describe it as easy. Some mild sensitivity for a few days afterward is normal.
