If you have ever dreamed of a flawless, camera-ready smile, porcelain veneers in Fort Lauderdale might be exactly what you need. Veneers are one of the most transformative cosmetic dentistry treatments available — capable of correcting chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and even minor misalignment in just a few appointments. At Stanton Smiles, we craft custom veneers that look completely natural and last for years.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They are bonded permanently to your natural teeth, instantly improving their color, shape, size, and symmetry. Each veneer is individually crafted to complement your facial features and match your desired aesthetic.
Veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Severe or resistant tooth discoloration
- Gaps between teeth (diastema)
- Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
- Worn-down or misshapen teeth
- Teeth that are too small relative to others
The Porcelain Veneer Procedure
Getting dental veneers at Stanton Smiles is a straightforward process that typically involves two to three appointments:
Step 1: Consultation and Treatment Planning
Dr. Stanton will evaluate your oral health, discuss your smile goals, and take X-rays or impressions. We use digital smile design to preview your expected results before any work begins.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
A thin layer of enamel (about 0.5mm) is gently removed from the front surface of each tooth receiving a veneer. This creates space for the veneer and ensures a natural-looking fit. Temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth while the permanent ones are fabricated.
Step 3: Fabrication
Impressions of your prepared teeth are sent to a dental lab where skilled ceramists handcraft your custom porcelain veneers. This process typically takes 1-2 weeks.
Step 4: Bonding
Once your permanent veneers arrive, Dr. Stanton will check their fit, color, and shape — making any final adjustments — before permanently bonding them to your teeth with a strong dental adhesive.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10-20 years or longer. Their longevity depends on your oral hygiene habits, lifestyle choices, and whether you grind your teeth (bruxism). To protect your veneers:
- Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
- Floss daily
- Avoid biting hard objects (ice, pen caps, fingernails)
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
- Attend regular dental cleanings at Stanton Smiles
What Do Porcelain Veneers Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
The cost of porcelain veneers in Fort Lauderdale typically ranges from $900 to $2,500 per tooth, depending on the complexity of your case, the number of veneers, and the materials used. A full smile makeover covering 6-10 veneers can range from $6,000 to $25,000+.
Since veneers are a cosmetic procedure, they are generally not covered by dental insurance. However, Stanton Smiles offers financing options to help make your dream smile a reality.
Are You a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Ideal candidates for veneers have:
- Generally healthy teeth and gums
- No active cavities or gum disease (these must be treated first)
- Sufficient enamel on the front surface of their teeth
- Realistic expectations about results
If you grind or clench your teeth significantly, we may recommend a night guard or explore alternative options before proceeding with veneers.
