One of the things that makes us self-conscious is that we can’t smile in a group photo, on a date, or in a meeting. Discolored, damaged, or missing teeth usually cause the problem. Fortunately, Dr. Sonia Olivares’ porcelain veneer procedure in Miami, FL, will bring out the glow in you again with her expertise in cosmetic dentistry.
Understanding Dental Veneers
Did you know that dental veneers are made of two different materials? These materials are called composite and porcelain.
Composite Veneers is the least choice of material when it comes to dental veneers as it tends to get stained easily. However, composite veneers can be done within the day and requires less preparation on the natural teeth. Composite veneers lasts for 4-8years and requires more maintenance.
On the other hand, porcelain veneers usually costs twice as much as composite veneers and have to be put on after enamel has been removed. They also can’t be fixed if they break or chip. But they look more natural, much stronger, and can last up to ten years.
What is Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells that cover the front of your teeth to enhance the size, shape, and shade of a tooth. Porcelain veneers are popular for restoring the strength and appearance of teeth that may be:
- Poorly Shaped
- Gapped
- Discolored
- Chipped or Worn
- Cracked or Broken
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

What to Expect
Your dentist will then apply special cement to the veneer before placing it on your tooth. Once it is in the correct position, your veneer will undergo photopolymerization. A particular light beam is used to activate the chemicals in the cement, which causes the cement to harden quickly and finalize the bonding of the veneer to your tooth.
Diagnosis
You should first have a consultation with Dr. Sonia Olivares where you discuss your desired results and your treatment options. During the appointment, the dentist may take x-rays or impressions of your mouth and teeth.
Preparation
At your next appointment, your dentist will trim approximately ½ millimeter of enamel off your tooth before making an impression of your tooth. Options such as local anesthetic can be used to reduce pain and numb the area.
Creation
2 – 4 weeks after your impression is sent off to the dental lab, you will receive your newly constructed veneers.
Bonding Placement
In order to prepare your tooth to receive the veneer, the dentist will clean, polish, and etch your tooth. Roughening the surface of your tooth by etching helps to strengthen the bonding.
Placement
Your dentist will then apply special cement to the veneer before placing it on your tooth. Once it is in the correct position, your veneer will be photopolymerised. A particular light beam is used to activate the chemicals in the cement, which causes the cement to harden quickly and finalize the bonding of the veneer to your tooth.
Adjustments
Your dentist will then make any needed final adjustments.
Dental/Porcelain Veneers FAQs

How long do porcelain veneers last on front teeth?
Most of the time, porcelain veneers on the front teeth are the most likely to break. This is because they are the first one to get stained by food or hurt when something hits the face. But if you take good care of them, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t last for more than ten years.
Is it worth getting porcelain veneers?
Porcelain dental veneers are a great confidence booster for people whose front teeth are chipped, uneven, discolored, or have large gaps between them. It could also help mask serious dental problems. If you have a broken tooth, your dentist can put a veneer over it to make it look like a whole tooth. If your tooth has a unique shape that you can see when you open your mouth, a veneer can change it to a more normal shape.
