What they fix
What Porcelain Veneers Can Fix
Veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. As a result, they change what people see when you talk and smile, while your natural tooth stays underneath. Overall, they work best on front teeth that are healthy but look worn, stained, or uneven.
- Chipped or worn edgesRebuild edges damaged by biting, accidents, or years of wear.
- Deep stainsCover discoloration that whitening cannot lift, such as tetracycline stains or dark old fillings.
- Gaps between teethClose small spaces between front teeth without braces.
- Short or uneven teethEven out length and proportions for a balanced smile line.
- Misshapen teethReshape pointed, narrow, or mismatched teeth.
- Minor crowdingMask small rotations when orthodontics is not your first choice.

Porcelain Veneers vs. Bonding, Whitening & Crowns
Porcelain veneers are not the only way to improve your smile. In fact, many of our Lauderhill patients get the look they want with a more conservative treatment. For this reason, this quick comparison shows where each option fits best.
| Treatment | Best for | Visits | Typical lifespan | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Porcelain veneers | Several front teeth that need new color, shape, and length | 2 after consult | 10–15 years with care | Enamel removal is permanent |
| Dental bonding | One or two small chips or gaps | Usually 1 | Shorter; resin stains and wears sooner | Needs more touch-ups |
| Teeth whitening | Yellowing on teeth with good shape | 1 in-office or take-home | Months to a few years | Will not fix chips, gaps, or shape |
| Dental crowns | Cracked, weak, or heavily filled teeth | 2 in most cases | Long-lasting with care | Covers the whole tooth |
Lifespan ranges are general estimates from patient education sources such as Cleveland Clinic. Of course, your dentist will explain what to expect for your teeth.
Candidacy
Are Veneers Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers if:
- Your gums are healthy and any cavities have been treated
- Your front teeth have enough enamel to bond to
- You want to change the color, shape, or length of several teeth
- You are ready for a long-term change and can keep up regular checkups
Health comes first. Placing veneers over decay or gum disease can hide problems and shorten their life. According to the ADA's MouthHealthy guide, those issues should be treated before veneers. We also check for grinding, which can crack porcelain, and recommend a nightguard when needed.
Step by step
The Porcelain Veneers Process at Our Lauderhill Office
Generally, porcelain veneers in Lauderhill take two treatment visits after your consultation. Here is what each step looks like, so there are no surprises.
- Smile design consultFirst, we talk about your goals, examine your teeth and gums, and take photos. Then you get a written plan and quote.
- Preparation & recordsWe numb the area, remove a thin layer of enamel, and take precise impressions. Then, together, we choose your final shade.
- Temporary veneersYou leave with temporaries that protect your teeth and preview your new shape while the lab crafts your porcelain.
- Bonding dayA few weeks later, we check fit and color, bond each veneer, polish, and adjust your bite.
Results that last
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
With good care, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years, and many last longer. Porcelain also resists coffee and tea stains better than natural enamel. Still, habits matter. For example, grinding and chewing ice can chip even the strongest veneer.
Occasionally, patients feel mild sensitivity to hot or cold after treatment. This usually fades within a few days. If it does not, call us so we can check your bite.
At every checkup in our Lauderhill office, we also inspect your porcelain veneers for chips, wear, and gum health around the edges.
Caring for your veneers
- Brush twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste
- Floss daily around each veneer
- Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind
- Avoid biting ice, pens, or packaging
- Keep your cleanings and exams every six months
Pricing & financing
Cost of Porcelain Veneers in Lauderhill, FL
The cost of porcelain veneers in Lauderhill depends on your smile, not a one-size price list. Because online averages cannot see your teeth, we give you an exact written quote at your free consultation. These factors shape the price:
- Number of teeth – one veneer to match a chipped tooth, or six to ten for a full smile makeover
- Lab materials and design – custom porcelain layered to match your shade
- Care needed first – fillings, gum treatment, or whitening of neighboring teeth
- Bite adjustments – protection for patients who grind or have worn teeth
Most insurance plans consider veneers cosmetic. However, we accept PPO insurance, check your benefits for any related treatment, and offer financing to spread out payments. See our current offers for new patient specials.

Questions
Porcelain Veneers FAQs for Lauderhill Patients
About the Treatment
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They change the color, shape, and size of the teeth that show when you smile. In addition, each veneer is custom-made by a dental lab to match your bite and facial features.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort because we numb the area before preparing the teeth. Afterward, some people notice mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a short time. There is no real downtime, so you can usually return to work the same day.
Is the enamel removal permanent?
Yes. Traditional porcelain veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel so the veneer sits naturally. Enamel does not grow back, so you will always need a veneer or other restoration on those teeth. That is why we review bonding and whitening with you first.
Will my veneers look fake?
They should not. We plan shade, shape, and length around your face, lips, and neighboring teeth, and you preview the design with temporary veneers before the final ones are bonded. After all, the goal is a smile that looks like yours, only brighter and more even.
Timeline & Results
How many visits do veneers take?
After your consultation, most cases take two treatment visits a few weeks apart. The first visit prepares the teeth and records your design. Then, the second visit bonds your finished porcelain veneers.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years, according to Cleveland Clinic. However, grinding, biting hard objects, and skipped checkups can shorten that. A custom nightguard helps protect them when you clench or grind.
Cost & Insurance
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Lauderhill?
Generally, the cost depends on how many teeth you treat, the lab work, and whether you need any care first, such as fillings or gum treatment. Because every smile is different, we give you an exact, written quote after your free smile design consultation. Financing is also available, and you can review current specials on our offers page.
Does insurance cover porcelain veneers?
Most dental plans treat veneers as cosmetic, so coverage is often limited or excluded. However, if a tooth also needs repair for health reasons, part of the treatment may qualify. Our team will check your PPO benefits and explain your options before you commit.
