If you're looking to enhance your smile in Miami Beach, porcelain veneers are one of the most powerful cosmetic dental options available. Here's a complete guide to types, pricing, and the process, so you can make an informed decision.
Types of Veneers Available at Cupo Dental
Porcelain veneers are the gold standard, hand-layered ceramic that mimics enamel's translucency and reflects light like a natural tooth. They're stain-resistant and typically last 10 to 15+ years.
Composite veneers are made from tooth-colored resin applied directly to the tooth. They're more affordable and can usually be placed in a single visit, but they don't last as long as porcelain (typically 5 to 7 years).
Costs and What Affects Them
Porcelain veneers in Miami Beach typically run $1,200 to $2,500 per tooth depending on case complexity, materials, and the level of customization. Composite veneers are usually $400 to $1,000 per tooth.
Most smile makeovers use 6 to 10 veneers across the visible smile line. We offer interest-free financing and currently 10% off porcelain veneers for new patients who place 4 or more.
The Process, Start to Finish
Your veneer journey starts with a face-and-smile consultation. We discuss your goals, take 3D scans, and design your new smile digitally before any work begins.
At the prep visit, a thin layer of enamel is shaped to make room for the porcelain. You'll wear temporaries for about two weeks while your veneers are crafted by master ceramists. Final placement is comfortable, exacting, and typically takes a single visit.
