Transform Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are a thin shell of dental porcelain that adheres to the tooth surface to improve the appearance of your smile. There is only a thin layer of enamel is removed during this procedure.
Veneers are a popular choice for chipped, misshaped, gapped, discolored, or heavily restored front teeth. Porcelain veneers are strong, long-lasting, and don’t stain.

What to Expect During the Porcelain Veneers Procedure
The process of obtaining porcelain dental veneers starts with capturing a digital impression of your teeth using a digital intraoral scanner, along with a series of photos. This allows us to design your new smile entirely digitally, ensuring that your veneers are custom-made for a perfect fit while minimizing the amount of tooth reduction needed for optimal results.
Once the design is complete, you will receive a set of temporary veneers that are shaped according to the digital design, so you’ll leave our office with a great smile.
Our veneers are crafted by a highly skilled laboratory technician to match your aesthetic preferences. Afterward, the permanent veneers are securely bonded to your teeth using a strong resin cement. The final result is a beautifully covered set of teeth with natural-looking porcelain veneers, revitalizing and enhancing your smile.
Porcelain dental veneers are an excellent solution for common dental concerns, providing a stunning new smile that looks and feels completely natural.
Do Porcelain Veneers Hurt?
No, the procedure for porcelain veneers is generally not painful. While you may experience some sensitivity during the tooth preparation process, our doctor ensures a comfortable experience by using local anesthetics or sedation techniques at our Fort Lauderdale practice. With the dentist’s extensive expertise in prosthodontics and aesthetics, you can expect a relaxing and pain-free visit tailored to your needs.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last many years—often even decades. Made from durable, stain-resistant materials, they are designed to be strong, retain their color, and keep your smile looking vibrant. To ensure long-lasting results, it’s essential to maintain a solid daily oral hygiene routine, which includes regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. For patients who frequently clench their jaws or grind their teeth at night, using a small oral appliance during sleep can provide additional protection for the veneers and help extend their lifespan.
How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?
The cost of porcelain veneers can vary based on several factors, including the number of veneers needed, the type selected, and the specifics of the placement. Each procedure is customized to meet the patient’s individual needs. During your consultation, Dr. Karedan will perform a thorough oral examination, discuss your cosmetic goals, create a personalized treatment plan, and provide an accurate estimate for the procedure.

Are There Any Alternatives to Porcelain Veneers?
If you are not an ideal candidate for porcelain veneers—perhaps due to severely damaged, misshapen, decayed, or otherwise problematic teeth—Dr. Karedan may recommend custom porcelain crowns. These crowns enhance the health, strength, and appearance of each affected tooth. Unlike veneers, which cover only the visible front surface, dental crowns encase the entire tooth, providing comprehensive protection while restoring both function and aesthetics to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
For those who prefer not to use veneers but are interested in minor cosmetic adjustments, cosmetic bonding may be a viable alternative. This technique uses tooth-colored composite resin for enhancements, although it may not offer the same durability or color stability as porcelain veneers.
The best treatment option for you will depend on various factors, which you can discuss with Dr. Karedan during your consultation. He will thoroughly assess your dental needs and guide you through the available options to help you achieve your desired outcomes.
