Transform Your Smile With Veneers At Vail Family Dentistry
At Vail Family Dentistry in Vail, AZ, we understand the power of a confident smile. With over a third of adults in the United States seeking ways to enhance their smiles, we’re here to offer a transformative solution: Dental Veneers.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are custom-made, thin coverings attached to the front surface of your teeth. They are a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry, offering a natural-looking solution for a range of dental concerns:
- Gaps between teeth
- Chipping
- Discoloration
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Misalignment
Our veneers not only improve the appearance of your teeth but also contribute to a more even bite, enhancing both the function and aesthetics of your smile.
The Veneer Process At Vail Family Dentistry
It’s always important to us that our patients are kept in the loop when it comes to dental procedures. So, here’s what to expect with dental veneers.
The journey to a brighter smile with veneers involves a few key steps:
- Consultation: Our expert dentists will evaluate your teeth and discuss the best veneer option for you.
- Tooth Preparation: Depending on the type of veneer, a small amount of tooth enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer.
- Impression and Creation: We take an impression of your teeth, which is used to craft your custom veneers.
- Application: Once ready, the veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth, ensuring a comfortable and natural fit.
Dental Veneers FAQs
What are the different types of dental veneers?
Exploring the Types of Veneers
At Vail Family Dentistry, we provide a variety of veneer options to suit your unique needs:
- Porcelain Veneers: Crafted from high-quality porcelain, these veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, offering a stain-resistant and gum-friendly solution.
- Composite Resin Veneers: A more budget-friendly option, these veneers are made of a resin that is molded and polished to perfection. While they are not as strong as porcelain, they are easier to repair and replace.
- Lumineers: These ultra-thin laminates are a minimally invasive alternative, requiring less tooth preparation and offering a quick transformation with no discomfort.

Am I a good candidate for veneers?
Candidates for dental veneers typically have overall good oral health but are looking to improve the appearance of their smile. Ideal candidates should not have significant gum disease, tooth decay, or severely weakened teeth. During your consultation, our dentists will assess your oral health and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine if veneers are the right choice for you.
Are there any restrictions on what I can eat or drink with veneers?
How long does the entire veneer process take from start to finish?
Will I be able to preview my veneers before they are permanently bonded?
Yes, at Vail Family Dentistry, we typically provide a preview of the veneers using digital imaging technology or a temporary mock-up. This allows you to see how the veneers will look and make any necessary adjustments before the final application.
How often do veneers need to be replaced?
The lifespan of veneers depends on the type of material used and how well they are cared for. Porcelain veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers typically last 4 to 8 years. With proper care and maintenance, veneers can often exceed their expected lifespan.

Composite White Fillings
The composite white filling is an increasingly popular alternative to the traditional silver amalgam filling. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are virtually invisible, and our team at Vail Family Dentistry can shade them according to the color of your teeth, creating a perfect match and giving you a beautiful, white smile!
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap with a false tooth in between. Made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials, bridges restore your smile, prevent further tooth misalignment, and help you chew comfortably.
Bonding
Dental Bonding is among the easiest and least expensive cosmetic dental procedures. The resin used in bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth. Bonding benefits both your oral health and improves your appearance by repairing damage, minor flaws, and irregularities in the surface of your teeth. This process is a wonderfully effective and affordable way to make cosmetic improvements to your smile.
Veneers
Many patients choose veneers as a custom-made option to make their smile sparkle naturally when they want to have a smile that is more vibrant.
Veneers entirely cover the damaged tooth with a long-lasting hard coating that enables it to nearly resemble the color of natural teeth, making them one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. Dental veneers are used to fix chipped, stained, misaligned, worn down, uneven or abnormally spaced teeth.
