In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about veneers, including how they work, what to expect, and why they’re such a popular choice for patients right here in Coconut Creek.
If you’ve ever wished your smile looked brighter, straighter, or more balanced, you’re not alone. Whether it’s discoloration, small gaps, or chips that make you feel self-conscious, dental veneers might be the answer you’ve been searching for.
At Coconut Creek Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, we believe every smile has the potential to shine. Led by Dr. Emmy Estenoz, our practice offers expertly crafted veneers that help you achieve your dream smile—without complicated treatments or lengthy recovery.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about veneers, including how they work, what to expect, and why they’re such a popular choice for patients right here in Coconut Creek.
Think of veneers as ultra-thin, custom-made shells that fit over the front surface of your teeth. Made from durable porcelain or composite resin, they are designed to mimic the natural look of healthy enamel while covering up cosmetic imperfections.
If you’ve seen celebrities or influencers with stunningly straight, gleaming teeth—chances are, veneers played a role.
Veneers can address a wide range of aesthetic concerns. They're especially effective for covering teeth that are deeply stained or discolored and haven’t responded to whitening treatments. They’re also ideal for hiding chips, worn edges, or small gaps between teeth. If your smile feels uneven or a few teeth are slightly misaligned, veneers can create a smoother, more symmetrical look.
Choosing a dentist in Coconut Creek who truly understands the art and science behind cosmetic dentistry is key. Dr. Estenoz brings years of experience and a meticulous eye for detail to every veneer case. Her focus isn’t just on making teeth look good—it’s about crafting a smile that fits your unique personality and facial features.
At our Coconut Creek office, veneers are a popular choice because the procedure is minimally invasive and often doesn’t require much, if any, tooth reduction. You’ll see long-lasting results—porcelain veneers can last a decade or more with proper care. Many patients experience an immediate confidence boost once they see their new smile. Plus, porcelain veneers are naturally stain-resistant, so your results stay bright longer.
Here’s a step-by-step look at the typical veneer journey with Dr. Estenoz:
We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital imaging to determine if veneers are right for you. You'll share your goals, preferences, and any concerns. This conversation helps us design a smile that feels authentic—not artificial.
Curious about the process? Schedule an exam and x-ray appointment to get started.
Before any permanent changes are made, you’ll preview your smile design. This could include digital mock-ups or temporary trial veneers so you can feel confident in the outcome.
We lightly shape the surface of your teeth to ensure a snug, natural fit for your veneers. This step is often so gentle that no anesthesia is needed.
Once your custom veneers are crafted—usually in about 1–2 weeks—we’ll bond them to your teeth using a strong adhesive. The result? A smooth, radiant smile that’s ready for life’s biggest moments.
"I used to hide my smile in every photo. My front teeth were discolored and uneven, and I felt like nothing worked. Dr. Estenoz listened to what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable. The veneers look so natural—my friends can’t believe the difference. Now I smile without thinking twice!"
— Samantha P., Coconut Creek resident
Stories like Samantha’s remind us why we do what we do. Veneers aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re about empowerment.
Veneers are a great option if your teeth are generally healthy but you’re unhappy with how they look. They’re ideal for adults looking for a cosmetic solution that doesn’t involve braces or surgery. If you want fast, noticeable improvements and results that last, veneers could be your best bet.
However, they’re not always the right choice for everyone. If you grind your teeth at night or have untreated decay or gum disease, we may recommend other options. Treatments like composite bonding or dental crowns can be just as effective, depending on your needs. Dr. Estenoz will help you explore the right approach during your consultation.
The beauty of veneers is how easy they are to maintain. You don’t need any special products or routines—just take care of them the same way you would your natural teeth. Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush, flossing regularly, and avoiding habits like chewing ice or biting pens will keep your veneers looking great. If you clench your teeth while sleeping, wearing a nightguard can help protect your investment.
And of course, don’t skip your dental checkups. Regular exams and cleanings are key to keeping your whole smile healthy.

Because every smile starts from a different place, total investment varies. Factors include case complexity, expected treatment length, and the number of trays required. Many PPO dental plans now contribute toward Invisalign the same way they would traditional braces. At your consultation, our team will run a complimentary benefits check and outline flexible payment options. No surprises, just clarity.
Clean Daily: A soft toothbrush plus fragrance‑free liquid soap keeps trays crystal clear.
Rinse Before Reinserting: This prevents dry saliva stains and odor.
Stay on Schedule: Wear aligners the full recommended hours—“just overnight” can stall progress.
Looking ahead to maintaining that straight smile? Our article on caring for your dental implants shares universal tips about oral hygiene tools that also apply to post‑Invisalign retainers.
1. How long does Invisalign take?
At our practice in Coconut Creek, most moderate cases average 9–12 months, but we’ve seen minor cosmetic corrections finish in just half a year.
2. Will clear aligners work for teenagers?
Patients at Coconut Creek Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry appreciate that Teen Invisalign includes compliance indicators (tiny blue dots that fade with proper wear), helping parents and Dr. Estenoz track usage.
3. Can I whiten my teeth during treatment?
We often recommend waiting until the last few trays, then using them as whitening trays—pairing aligner therapy with our professional teeth‑whitening system for a doubly dramatic reveal.
4. Are attachments painful or noticeable?
At our office in Coconut Creek, attachments feel like small speed bumps. They’re tooth‑colored, rarely spotted in photos, and you’ll adapt within days.
5. What if I lose a tray?
Patients at Coconut Creek Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry simply call us. Depending on where you are in the cycle, we may advise advancing to the next set or ordering a quick replacement.
Picture yourself six months from now, smiling freely in photos and meetings—no metal, no second‑guessing. That journey can start today.
