A Flawless Smile Just for You With Veneers

Veneers are thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain shells that are custom-made to recreate the natural appearance of your teeth. They are contoured and bonded onto the front of each tooth’s surface, providing your teeth with greater strength and beauty.Porcelain veneers are the ideal treatment to improve many esthetic dental concerns, and they often can be a less-invasive alternative for dental crowns or braces. The durable, porcelain material can remain beautiful for many years and will offer you more confidence than ever before.

What’s Involved with the Procedure?

This procedure usually requires two easy visits to our Flagstaff office. First, we prepare your teeth by lightly buffing and reshaping the surface to allow the veneers to be bonded properly. Our team will take an impression of your teeth and help you pick out the shade you want.
While your veneers are being made at our dental lab, we’ll provide you with a temporary set to wear over the next few weeks. During your second visit, your teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. The bonding material is then placed on the surface of your tooth and we’ll use a dental light beam to harden and fix it.

How do I take care of my veneers?

As always, you should be maintaining a good dental hygiene routine every day. This means brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash twice a day and visit us for your check-ups twice a year.
