Frequently Asked Questions

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front of your teeth to improve their shape, size, and color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments in Miami for patients who want a Hollywood-worthy smile.

• Composite Veneers
  • Made of tooth-colored resin applied directly to your teeth.
  • Can often be completed in a single visit.
  • More affordable option.
  • Lasts around 3–7 years with proper care.
  • May stain or chip more easily than porcelain.

• Porcelain Veneers
  
  • Crafted in a dental lab for the most natural look.
  • Strong, durable, and stain-resistant.
  • Typically lasts 10–15 years or longer.
  • Require two visits to complete but deliver a more permanent, high-quality result.

At One Smile Aesthetics in Miami, we’ll help you decide whether composite or porcelain veneers are the right fit for your goals.

If you’re seeking a quick, budget-friendly solution, composite veneers may be the right choice. If you want long-lasting results, porcelain veneers are usually best. Our cosmetic dentists will design a personalized plan during your consultation.

Porcelain veneers are considered permanent since they require slight enamel reshaping. Composite veneers are less invasive but still a long-term treatment. Both options can dramatically improve your smile.

Most patients experience little to no discomfort. A small amount of local anesthesia may be used, and any sensitivity is temporary.

Clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually straighten your teeth. They’re an alternative to metal braces and are one of the most popular choices.

• Veneers improve the appearance of the teeth by changing their surface, color, and shape. They don’t move teeth.
• Aligners straighten teeth by gradually shifting them into position, improving bite and function.

Many patients in our office choose aligners first for alignment, then add veneers for a complete smile makeover.

You may feel slight pressure when switching to a new set, but the discomfort is minimal and temporary.

• Veneers: Yes, but avoid biting into very hard foods to protect them.
• Aligners: Remove them when eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining and damage.

Not sure if you need veneers, aligners, or both? Veneers are ideal for enhancing color, shape, and minor gaps. Aligners are best for correcting crooked teeth or bite issues. Many patients combine both treatments for the ultimate transformation.
