Why We Recommend Porcelain Over Composite
Not all veneers are created equal. The material you choose determines how your smile looks five years from now — not just on the day you leave our office.
Porcelain Veneers
- Resists staining from coffee, wine, and tea for the life of the veneer
- Lasts 10–15 years with normal care
- Keeps its polish and shine — no repolishing visits needed
- Reflects light like natural enamel for a more lifelike result
- More resistant to chipping and wear over time
- Lower cost per year of wear despite higher upfront price
Composite Veneers
- Stains more easily from coffee, wine, tea, and sauces
- Typically lasts only 5–7 years before needing replacement
- Requires professional polishing every 6–12 months to stay looking new
- Duller, less natural light reflection than porcelain
- More prone to chipping and surface wear
- Ongoing polishing visits add to the long-term cost
We still offer composite veneers as a lower-cost starting point, but for patients who want a smile that stays bright without repeat maintenance visits, our doctors recommend porcelain in almost every case.

What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, durable shells placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their overall appearance. At Dr. G Dental Studio, our porcelain veneers closely resemble natural tooth enamel, so your new smile looks completely natural — and stays that way.
Veneers can make a smile more symmetrical by covering teeth that are discolored, worn, or less shapely than the rest of the smile. They also conceal misshapen or broken teeth and close small gaps between teeth, often without the need for orthodontics.
Getting Porcelain Veneers: Two Visits, One New Smile
Consultation & Digital Smile Design
We examine your teeth and gums, confirm you're a candidate, and preview your new smile using digital imaging.
Preparation & Impressions
A thin layer of enamel is removed so the veneer fits and looks natural. We take a precise impression and send it to our dental lab.
Temporary Veneers
While your custom porcelain veneers are being crafted (typically a few weeks), you'll wear a temporary set.
Final Bonding
Your final veneers are checked for shape, color, and fit, then permanently bonded with dental cement and cured with a specialized light.
Walk Out With Your New Smile
No downtime. Eat, drink, and return to normal activities the same day — and enjoy a smile built to last 10–15 years.
Who Needs Dental Veneers?
Anyone who wants to enhance the appearance of their smile can explore veneers. Common candidates include patients with:
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Diastema (gaps or spaces between teeth)
- Stains that don't respond to teeth whitening
- Teeth that are too small or worn down
- Misshapen teeth
Veneers are only an option if you're free of extensive cavities and gum disease. Patients with active oral health issues should address those first before pursuing cosmetic treatment.
Veneers vs. Crowns
A porcelain veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth to enhance appearance. A dental crown covers the entire tooth structure to add strength and protection. Veneers are primarily cosmetic; crowns restore teeth badly damaged by decay or trauma.
Care & Maintenance
- Brush twice daily with nonabrasive fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush
- Floss between teeth once daily
- Avoid biting directly into hard foods like apples or carrots
- Visit your dentist for routine exams and cleanings
Porcelain veneers rarely need anything beyond this routine. Composite veneers benefit from an additional professional polish every 6–12 months to manage surface staining.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers in Miami
Are porcelain veneers better than composite veneers?
For most patients, yes. Porcelain veneers resist coffee, wine, and food stains far better than composite, hold their polish and shine for 10 to 15 years, and rarely need dentist visits for upkeep. Composite veneers cost less upfront but stain more easily, typically last only 5 to 7 years, and need professional polishing every 6 to 12 months to stay looking new.
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Miami?
At Dr. G Dental Studio in Miami, porcelain veneers start at $650 per tooth, with package pricing at $3,900 for 6, $5,200 for 8, $6,500 for 10, and $13,000 for a full set of 20. City-wide, porcelain veneers in Miami typically range from $900 to $2,500 per tooth.
Do composite veneers stain more than porcelain veneers?
Yes. Composite resin is more porous than porcelain, so it absorbs pigment from coffee, red wine, tea, and tomato sauce more readily. Composite veneers usually need professional polishing every 6 to 12 months to remove surface stains, while porcelain veneers keep their original shade and shine for years with normal brushing alone.
How many veneers do I need for a full smile makeover?
Most full smile makeovers use 6 to 10 veneers to cover the teeth visible when you smile, though patients wanting a complete top-and-bottom transformation may choose a 20-veneer set.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups — significantly longer than composite veneers, which generally need replacement after 5 to 7 years.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Getting veneers is generally not painful. Local anesthesia numbs the teeth and gums during enamel preparation, and most patients report only mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days afterward.
Can veneers fix crooked or gapped teeth in Miami?
Yes. Veneers can close small to moderate gaps and visually straighten mildly crooked or misshapen teeth without orthodontic treatment. For more significant misalignment, your dentist may recommend clear aligners or braces first.
Do I need a consultation before getting veneers in Miami?
Yes. Dr. G Dental Studio reviews your teeth and gums and a digital smile design preview before treatment begins.
Are veneers covered by dental insurance?
Because veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure, most dental insurance plans do not cover them. Dr. G Dental Studio offers 0% interest financing for up to 24 months, along with CareCredit and Cherry payment plans.
How many appointments does it take to get porcelain veneers?
Traditional porcelain veneers typically take two appointments — one to prepare the teeth and take impressions, and a second a few weeks later to bond the final custom veneers.
Why do composite veneers need more dentist visits than porcelain?
Composite resin loses its polished shine faster than porcelain because it is softer and more porous. Most composite veneer patients need a professional repolishing visit every 6 to 12 months, while porcelain veneers rarely need anything beyond routine cleanings.
