Porcelain veneers in Edgewater start at $999 per tooth at Prana Dental, on Biscayne Blvd at NE 30th Street. A veneer case usually means several visits, and when the office is a few blocks from home, the try-ins and small adjustments that make a smile look right become easy to keep. Dr. Aakash Rana, DDS plans each case himself and works side by side with our in-house lab.
Edgewater veneers from $999 per tooth. Your total depends on how many teeth you treat and what each one needs, and it goes in writing before any work starts.
Edgewater is mostly condo towers between Biscayne Blvd and Biscayne Bay, running roughly from NE 17th to NE 36th Street. Many residents are working adults who moved in recently and haven't settled on a dentist nearby. A cosmetic fix (a chipped front tooth, uneven edges, color that whitening never changed) tends to get pushed down the list because it sounds like a long project. The slow part is really the fine-tuning, and living close by turns each of those steps into a quick stop.
Much of the neighborhood can reach 3050 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 703, on foot. From the towers near Margaret Pace Park, around NE 18th Street, it is a straight stroll north along Biscayne or a few blocks over from N Bayshore Drive. By car it takes a few minutes along either road, depending on traffic.
The building has parking, and there is street parking around it. Rideshare drivers can drop you at the building on Biscayne Blvd, and Metrobus routes run along the boulevard (check the GO Miami-Dade Transit app for current routes and times). Metromover doesn't come this far north, so leave it out of your plans.
Good veneers are rarely finished in one sitting. In many cases you wear a trial version first, either a mock-up or temporaries, so you can live with the shape for a few days. The final porcelain is tried in before it is bonded, and a short follow-up checks your bite and gumline.
Because the lab is in our own office, a note about an edge or a shade can often be acted on without shipping anything out. We're open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm, so a neighbor can come by at lunch, after dinner or on a Saturday morning. A typical case looks like this:
Veneers tend to work well for adults with healthy gums and sound teeth who want to change color, shape, small gaps or chips on the teeth that show when they smile. They aren't the right first step for everyone:
Most porcelain veneers need a thin layer of enamel removed from the front of the tooth so the result doesn't look bulky. That step is generally permanent, so we only suggest it when the benefit is clear. Some people, often those with small, worn or slightly set-back teeth, may be candidates for minimal-prep veneers that need little or no reshaping; the exam and scan tell us whether that applies to you.
With good habits, porcelain veneers can last many years, though the real number depends on your bite, any grinding, your gums and your care. Brush and floss as usual, keep regular checkups, and don't open packaging with your front teeth. Porcelain doesn't whiten, so whiten the surrounding teeth before the shade is chosen if you want them brighter.

For a lot of the neighborhood, yes. The office is at 3050 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 703, at NE 30th Street, a short stroll from much of the neighborhood. If you'd rather drive, there is building parking and street parking nearby.
It depends on the case, but expect a free first visit, a planning visit, a preparation visit and a try-in or bonding visit, plus a short follow-up. Some smiles need one extra adjustment, and being nearby makes those short stops easy to fit in.
Tell us. A high spot on the bite or a rough edge is usually quick to fix at a short follow-up. For Edgewater neighbors, that often means stopping by on the way home.
