Do you avoid smiling because of yellow teeth? Do you feel self-conscious about a broken tooth? Cosmetic dentistry could help you regain your confidence and have a beautiful smile once again. We can help you get porcelain veneers in the Phoenix area that change the appearance of your teeth.
Veneers cover the outer surfaces of your teeth to repair damage or make your smile more attractive. Our dentists use permanent cement to attach dental veneers to your teeth that protect them and improve their appearance. These paper-thin pieces of porcelain match your individual teeth and address discolored or damaged enamel (outer layer of the tooth). They can act as an alternative to crowns when the patient needs minimal enamel grinding.

What Can I Expect When I Get Veneers at AZ Family Dental?
Your veneer treatment at our office will require more than one visit. The first appointment involves taking impressions of your teeth so our dentist can design custom-shaped veneers. They will remove some of the enamel on your teeth to get an accurate representation of the needed shape and size. You and your dentist will also decide on a veneer shade that suits your needs. At the second visit, one of our dentists will clean your teeth and attach your custom veneers.
After each appointment at AZ Family Dental, our dentist will teach you how to care for your teeth and veneers. They will stress the importance of proper oral hygiene, good eating habits, and regular dental visits. Living a healthy lifestyle will keep your smile beautiful by protecting your teeth and veneers.
When Should I Get Dental Veneers?
The dentists at AZ Family Dental use veneers in a wide range of applications. Thanks to the versatility of veneers, they can offer this service for cosmetic or protective purposes. Veneers let us help patients in the following ways:
- Covering crooked or misshapen teeth for a straighter appearance
- Making a discolored tooth match the rest of the teeth in color
- Resizing teeth that look too large or small in comparison to others
- Repairing worn or chipped teeth that require smaller fixes than crowns
Most veneer uses are for cosmetic reasons. However, they can keep your teeth healthy in specific situations as well. Your AZ Family Dental dentist will recommend the best course of action for your cosmetic and dental concerns.
Frequently Asked Questions for Dental Veneers
Veneers are designed to last up to 15 to 30 years, depending on the type you choose and how well you take care of them. They’re made to be strong and sturdy, so you won’t have to be as concerned about damage, and most foods are safe to eat.
You shouldn’t have to worry about complications with proper care, but veneers can still be damaged. You can replace your veneers if they chip, break, or detach, but installing new veneers can be costly. Likewise, veneers are vulnerable to staining like regular teeth, and certain foods and drinks can lead to discoloration.
Can teeth decay under veneers?
So long as your veneers are correctly applied, plaque and bacteria shouldn’t be able to reach your teeth. If your veneers weren’t correctly applied, cavities may develop and need to be treated. Without intervention, the veneer can fall off due to tooth decay.
A lot of people get veneers in their early twenties. We recommend you wait until your teeth have fully settled into their permanent placement (typically 18 years of age). Applying veneers while teeth are still settling can cause complications and shifting teeth.
The process of applying veneers should cause little to no discomfort. Our dentists use a local anesthetic to the target area, numbing it. Following application, you may experience some soreness as the numbing treatment wears off. Reports of post discomfort are usually made by patients who had eight or more veneers applied, which is only moderate and easily manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.
