What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells we place on the front surfaces of your teeth to cover tooth flaws and imperfections, instantly transforming your smile. They are ideal for improving the size, color, shape, length, and overall appearance of your teeth, delivering beautifully natural results. We can place veneers on one or more of your teeth, depending on your unique needs. 

Your custom-crafted veneers mimic the color, shade, translucency, and light reflection properties of natural tooth enamel, so it’s almost impossible to tell them apart from your natural teeth. The porcelain material is also stain-resistant, ensuring you maintain a bright, Hollywood-worthy smile. With proper oral hygiene practices and regular dental exams and cleanings, you can expect your veneers to enhance your smile anywhere from 10 – 15 years or even longer with proper care. 

What Are the Uses of Porcelain Veneers? 

The following are some reasons Dr. Rick may recommend porcelain veneers:

• To improve the appearance of teeth with deep staining or discoloration that does not respond to professional whitening treatments
• To restore chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged teeth
• To improve the appearance of misshapen, uneven, or worn teeth
• To correct minor tooth misalignment or close small spaces between teeth
• To repair damaged tooth enamel, restoring a tooth’s health and function
• To increase the size of small or short teeth, restoring your smile’s balance
• To cover teeth with flaws or imperfections, providing a total smile makeover 

What Is the Porcelain Veneers Procedure?

During your initial consultation, Dr. Rick will evaluate your smile’s unique needs and help determine whether veneers are right for you. The procedure starts by preparing one or several teeth by removing an ultra-fine layer of tooth enamel to accommodate your new veneers. Next, Dr. Rick will take impressions of your teeth that technicians at our partner dental laboratory will use to create your custom restorations. Meanwhile, we will place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth and to also give you a preview of your new, improved smile. 

When your new veneers are ready, you will return to our Scottsdale office for a placement appointment. Dr. Rick will ensure they provide a perfect fit and color match before cementing them in place. The last step is making any needed adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and optimal function. You’ll leave our office with a new winning smile!
