Dental Veneers Peoria, AZ

Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells made from high-quality porcelain or composite resin that enhance the appearance of natural teeth. They’re bonded to the front surface of your teeth to correct discoloration, chips, small gaps, or slight irregularities in shape. Each veneer is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, instantly improving both appearance and confidence.

You could be a strong candidate if you have healthy gums and teeth (no active decay or major structural problems), and you're looking to improve the appearance of your smile (such as fixing stained, chipped, or uneven teeth). If you have significant gum disease, very worn or cracked teeth, or you grind/clench heavily, your dentist may recommend other treatments first or adjunctive protection like a night guard.

The process usually starts with an initial visit where you share your smile goals, your teeth are examined, and digital scans or impressions are taken to plan your treatment. Then your teeth are prepared (a thin layer of enamel is removed), and the lab fabricates your veneers. On a follow-up visit, the veneers are bonded into place. Most cases take two visits (preparation + placement) spaced over a few weeks.

With proper care, veneers often last 10 to 15 years (and sometimes longer). Keeping your smile strong starts with simple habits: brush twice a day, floss daily, visit your dentist regularly, and avoid using your front teeth to bite into hard objects.

High-quality veneers are carefully crafted, shaded, and shaped to blend naturally with your teeth and facial features. At West Brook Village Dental, your dentist will work with you to select the appropriate shade, shape, and alignment so your new smile looks natural and flattering.

Because a small amount of enamel must usually be removed, getting veneers is often considered irreversible once done. You must maintain your oral health; veneers don’t stop underlying disease or damage. Also, if you grind or bite very hard objects (ice, nails, etc.), you risk chipping or breaking the veneers.

The cost varies depending on how many teeth you want done, the material used, and any adjunctive work needed (gum shaping, prior restoration, etc.). Since veneers are largely cosmetic, many dental insurance plans do not cover them fully (or at all). You should check with your provider and also ask West Brook Village Dental about payment/financing options.
