Porcelain Veneers in Tamarac, FL
A Smile You'll Want to Show Off!
A beautiful smile changes everything — how you feel in photos, how you laugh in conversation, how confident you feel walking into a room. At Dr. Dulay & Associates P.A. in Tamarac, Florida, we specialize in custom porcelain veneers that look natural, feel comfortable, and are designed to complement your face, your age, and your personality.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin custom-made shells of medical-grade ceramic that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are one of the most versatile treatments in cosmetic dentistry because they correct multiple issues at once- chipped or worn teeth, stains and discoloration that don’t respond to teeth whitening , small gaps, slightly crooked teeth, and aging smiles that have lost their brightness.
Unlike crowns, veneers are minimally invasive – we preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible, which fits our practice’s tooth saving philosophy. With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Who is a Good Candidate for Veneers?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for porcelain veneers. They are an excellent option if you want to cover stained, chipped or discolored teeth without more extensive work. Veneers can also reshape worn or slightly uneven teeth and close small gaps-all in a few visits.
Most of our veneer patients are between 35-70. Whether you are preparing for a milestone event, refreshing a smile that’s aged over the years, or finally doing something for yourself – it’s never too late. During your consultation, Dr. Dulay will evaluate your teeth, listen to your goals and let you know honestly whether veneers are the right fit for you.
Reasons to Get Veneers
Porcelain veneers can address several cosmetic concerns at once, often in just two or three visits. Here are the most common reasons our Tamarac patients choose veneers:
- You have stained or discolored teeth that haven’t responded to whitening
- Your front teeth are chipped, cracked, or worn down
- You have small gaps between your front teeth
- You have short or uneven teeth and want more balanced youthful smile that follows the contours of your lips
- You want a complete smile transformation without extensive dental work
Why Some Veneers Look Fake - and How We Avoid It
One of the most common fears patients share when they walk into our Tamarac office is this: “I want a beautiful smile — but I don’t want it to look like I had work done.”
It’s a valid concern. We’ve all seen veneers that look too white, too bulky, or too uniform — the “Chiclet smile” or “Hollywood look” that announces itself the moment someone speaks. The good news? That outcome is almost always avoidable when veneers are designed and placed properly.
Here’s what actually causes veneers to look fake — and how Dr. Dulay’s approach is different.
1. They’re too white for your skin tone and face
Veneers that are brighter than the whites of your eyes immediately read as artificial. Our approach: we select shades that complement your natural skin tone, eye color, and the brightness of your other teeth — bright and beautiful, but believable.
2. They’re all the exact same shape and size
Real teeth have subtle variation — the two front teeth are slightly larger than the lateral incisors, edges aren’t perfectly straight, and there’s natural translucency. Our approach: each veneer is custom-designed with the small natural variations that make a smile look authentic, not factory-made.
3. They’re too bulky or thick
Bulky veneers push the lip out unnaturally and look “stuck on.” This often happens when too little tooth is prepared, or when veneers are over-built to mask underlying issues. Our approach: minimally invasive preparation and ultra-thin porcelain that lies flat against your natural tooth contours.
4. They ignore your face shape
A smile that’s beautiful in isolation can still look wrong on the wrong face. Veneers designed without considering your facial proportions, lip line, and personality can feel disconnected from who you are. Our approach: Dr. Dulay considers your full face — features, age, lip movement, and personality — before designing a single tooth.
5. They were placed without proper planning or temporaries
The best veneer cases are previewed in temporary form first — so you can “test drive” the new smile, give feedback, and confirm you love it before the final porcelain is made. Our approach: we never skip this step. You’ll see and approve your new smile before it’s permanent.
At Dr. Dulay & Associates, we believe a great cosmetic dentist’s job isn’t to give you “the perfect Hollywood smile” — it’s to give you the best version of YOUR smile. Natural. Beautiful. Unmistakably yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Considering Porcelain Veneers?
Here are answers to the questions our Tamarac patients ask most often. Don’t see your question? Call us at (954) 722-9020 – we are happy to help.
The cost of porcelain veneers depends on several factors — how many teeth you’re treating, the complexity of your case, and the materials used. Most patients invest in veneers for the front 6 to 10 visible teeth. During your free consultation, Dr. Dulay will examine your smile, discuss your goals, and give you a clear, written estimate. We also offer flexible financing options to make beautiful smiles more accessible.
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years — and many patients enjoy them even longer. Daily brushing, flossing, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects will help your veneers stay beautiful for years to come. If you grind your teeth at night, we may also recommend a nightguard to protect your investment.
Veneers themselves last 10–15 years or more, but the procedure is considered permanent because a small amount of tooth enamel is gently reshaped during preparation. Once placed, veneers will eventually need to be replaced — but they don’t have to be removed entirely. Dr. Dulay’s conservative approach preserves as much natural tooth structure as possible.
This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and it’s a valid one. Veneers look fake when they’re too white, too uniform, or too bulky. Dr. Dulay specifically avoids the “Hollywood Chiclet” look by custom-designing each veneer to complement your skin tone, face shape, age, and personality. The goal is a smile that looks like your smile — only better. Real, natural, and unmistakably yours.
The veneer process is not painful. Local anesthesia is used during preparation to keep you comfortable, and most patients experience only mild sensitivity for a few days afterward, which resolves quickly. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) to help you feel relaxed and at ease throughout treatment.
Yes, you can absolutely get a single veneer — Dr. Dulay can carefully match it to your existing teeth in shade and shape. However, most cosmetic patients choose to do at least the front 8 to 10 visible teeth, since this creates the most uniform, natural-looking smile. During your consultation, we’ll help you decide what’s right for your goals.
Absolutely not. Many of our veneer patients are in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. A confident smile has no age limit — and veneers can be especially transformative for older patients dealing with worn, chipped, or yellowed teeth. It’s never too late to invest in a smile you love.
Veneers can correct mild crowding, small gaps, staining, chipping, and shape irregularities all at once. For more significant alignment issues, Dr. Dulay may recommend Invisalign or orthodontic treatment first to create the ideal foundation, then veneers to perfect the final result. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best path forward for your specific smile.
