Why More Scottsdale Residents Are Showing Up for Veneers
The popularity of porcelain veneers has risen steadily in recent years, with growth projections continuing to trend upward. There are good reasons for this growing demand as porcelain veneers offer several benefits:
- Porcelain Veneers Are Transformative — Remember, porcelain veneers were once a Hollywood secret, and when you look at celebrity smiles, you understand why!
- Porcelain Veneers Are Versatile — Because veneers conceal so many tooth flaws, they are often all you need to address various aesthetic issues.
- Porcelain Veneers Are Durable — Although they are thin, they are made of durable ceramic, giving them a strong and beautiful finish.
These benefits make veneers an attractive solution for anyone seeking a smile makeover. They represent a versatile option for people with multiple cosmetic concerns or for those simply wanting to enhance their natural smile.
What Are Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells of quality porcelain custom-crafted to match your smile and general aesthetic. For traditional porcelain veneers, the prep and placement process happens over two visits.
Your North Scottsdale dentist removes a small section of tooth enamel to ensure a non-bulky and natural-looking finish. When we remove enamel, you must consider your veneers permanent. If you lose or damage a veneer, it must be replaced. After preparing the teeth you’d like to veneer, the dentist carefully cements them to the front surfaces of your teeth.
Fortunately, you can promote veneer longevity with healthy habits, brushing and flossing at least twice daily, and regular dental care. On average, veneers can last up to fifteen years or longer.
If you'd rather not alter your natural teeth for veneer placement, Dr. Clark recommends eMax porcelain veneers, depending on your cosmetic goals. These types of veneers don't require drilling, injections, or other forms of prep. So there's minimal alteration of the tooth structure, and the material quality is high. The glass ceramic is translucent and opalescent, so it interacts with light just like natural tooth enamel.
