What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells custom-crafted to bond permanently to the front surface of your teeth. They are one of the most powerful tools in cosmetic dentistry — capable of correcting multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously, from discoloration and chips to gaps and minor misalignment, in as few as two appointments.

Each veneer is individually designed to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth — or to create the brighter, more symmetrical smile you have always wanted. Porcelain closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, giving veneers an exceptionally natural appearance. Once bonded, they are strong, stain-resistant, and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

At Pines True Smile in Pembroke Pines, Dr. Kiani takes a meticulous approach to veneer design — analyzing your facial proportions, smile line, and existing teeth before recommending a plan. Every case is customized, never one-size-fits-all.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?

Porcelain veneers work best for patients who want to address one or more of the following:

  • Permanently stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening
  • Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth affecting smile symmetry
  • Gaps between teeth (diastemas)
  • Mildly misshapen or uneven teeth
  • Minor spacing irregularities without the need for orthodontic treatment

You need healthy gums and adequate tooth enamel for veneer placement. Dr. Kiani will assess your oral health during a consultation and recommend the right approach for your situation.

The Veneer Process at Pines True Smile

Step 1: Consultation and Design — Dr. Kiani conducts a detailed smile analysis, takes photographs, and discusses your cosmetic goals. Together you select the shape, size, and shade of your new veneers.

Step 2: Preparation — A thin layer of enamel (approximately 0.5mm) is gently removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Impressions or digital scans are sent to the dental lab. Temporary veneers protect your teeth during the fabrication period, typically 1–2 weeks.

Step 3: Bonding — Your custom veneers arrive from the lab. Dr. Kiani checks the fit and color before permanently bonding each veneer with a special dental adhesive and light-curing the bond. Final adjustments ensure your bite and comfort are perfect.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Instant Smile Transformation

Address multiple cosmetic concerns — color, shape, size, gaps — all in one treatment plan.

Natural-Looking Porcelain

Ultra-thin ceramic shells mimic the light-reflection of real tooth enamel for undetectable results.

Stain-Resistant Surface

Porcelain resists coffee, tea, and wine staining far better than natural tooth enamel.

Long-Lasting Investment

With proper care, quality porcelain veneers last 10–20 years before needing replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do porcelain veneers cost in Pembroke Pines?
Porcelain veneers typically range from $900 to $2,500 per tooth depending on case complexity and the number of veneers. While a significant investment, many patients find the confidence and longevity they provide to be exceptional value. Financing options through CareCredit are available — call (954) 703-2474 to discuss your options.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years before needing replacement. The key is avoiding habits that stress them — not biting hard objects, using a night guard if you grind your teeth, and maintaining regular cleanings at Pines True Smile.
Are porcelain veneers reversible?
Veneer placement requires a small amount of enamel removal to ensure proper fit. Because enamel does not regenerate, the process is considered permanent — the teeth will need to be covered by veneers or another restoration going forward. This is why a thorough consultation with Dr. Kiani before proceeding is essential.
How many teeth can get veneers at once?
There is no set limit. Some patients choose a single veneer to correct one chipped tooth; others select a full smile makeover with 6, 8, or 10 veneers across the upper arch. Dr. Kiani will discuss what makes sense based on your smile line and aesthetic goals during your consultation.
Can I get veneers if I have slightly crooked teeth?
In many cases, yes. Veneers can create the appearance of straighter, more symmetrical teeth without orthodontic treatment — making them popular for mild spacing and alignment irregularities. For more significant crowding or bite issues, Dr. Kiani may recommend Invisalign before or instead of veneers.

Porcelain veneers are part of our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services at Pines True Smile. If your teeth need straightening before or instead of veneers, ask Dr. Kiani about Invisalign in Pembroke Pines. Professional teeth whitening is also available if you want a brighter base before your veneer treatment.
