Dental Veneers
Peoria, AZ

Our team at Pleasant Valley Dentistry provides dental veneers to our patients in the Peoria, AZ area. Veneers help with cosmetic problems that are seen in your smile.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are caps that cover teeth and correct minor imperfections. When your front teeth are chipped, discolored, stained, or otherwise different from the rest of your teeth, it is natural to want to fix the problem. Dental veneers offer a quick and easy fix that can help with damaged front teeth that cannot be fixed any other way.
What Are Veneers Made Of?
Our dentists make veneers out of porcelain by creating custom caps that cover damaged teeth. Porcelain is one of the best materials to use in dentistry, namely because of its durability and because it is tooth-colored. Once you smile no one will be able to tell the difference.
Are You A Candidate For Veneers?
In order to get veneers, other than your damaged teeth, the rest of your mouth needs to be very healthy. Otherwise, we will need to treat any oral health issues first before we focus on your front teeth. Additionally, in order to get veneers, we need to get you out of the habit of clenching and grinding your teeth together.
Veneers can pop off or break if this happens, and you do not want that to happen. Make sure to talk to our dentists if you clench or grind your teeth at night, and we will work with you to protect your veneers. A night mouth guard can help protect restorations.
Enamel needs to be removed in order to put veneers on. While our dentists try to remove as little as possible, it is still a step in the procedure that you need to know about. The enamel can not be added back on once we remove it.
Getting Veneers
The process of getting veneers is carefully designed to ensure a precise fit, natural appearance, and lasting results. Here's what you can expect:
Preparation of Your Teeth
To begin, we gently reshape the surface of your teeth to accommodate the veneers. This step is essential to ensure the veneers sit comfortably and align seamlessly with your natural teeth. The amount of enamel removed is minimal, just enough to allow the veneers to bond securely without adding bulk.
Creating a Custom Mold
Once your teeth are prepared, we take a detailed mold or digital scan of your teeth. This mold serves as the blueprint for your veneers, capturing every contour and ensuring a precise fit. Your dentist will also work with you to select the ideal shade for your veneers, ensuring they blend perfectly with your natural smile.
Fabrication in the Dental Lab
The mold is sent to a specialized dental lab, where skilled technicians craft your veneers. Using high-quality materials, they create veneers that match your desired shape, size, and color, delivering a natural and polished appearance. This process typically takes a couple of weeks, during which temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth.
Placement and Bonding
When your custom veneers are ready, you’ll return for the final placement. Your dentist will carefully position each veneer on the prepared teeth, checking for proper fit, alignment, and appearance. Once everything is perfect, the veneers are bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive and a special curing light, which secures them firmly in place.
Final Adjustments
After bonding, your dentist may make small adjustments to ensure your bite feels comfortable and natural. The result is a beautiful, durable smile that looks and feels like your own teeth.
Veneers are an excellent option for transforming your smile, offering a long-lasting solution for chipped, discolored, or uneven teeth.
