What are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells of material that Dr. Martin will bond to the front side of imperfect teeth. They are an excellent way to correct a long list of smile flaws, including chips, cracks, stains, small gaps, crooked teeth, worn teeth, and misshapen teeth. He will work with you to decide which type of veneers will work best for your situation.
Our veneers fall into two basic categories:
- Standard Veneers. While extremely thin, standard veneers usually require us to remove a small amount of tooth enamel before placing them. This procedure shouldn’t cause you any discomfort. We can numb you with local anesthesia, if desired.
- Prepless Veneers. These veneers are even thinner than standard veneers and are generally placed without having to remove any tooth enamel. If these veneers need to be removed in the future, there is minimal impact on your natural teeth. Standard veneers are usually crafted from beautiful porcelain to closely mimic the light-reflecting qualities of your natural teeth. For prepless veneers, we often use Lumineers, which are made from Cerinate porcelain, or eMax veneers, which are made from lithium disilicate.
Both types of veneers are thin and durable and will give your smile a beautiful, lifelike appearance. All of our veneers should last for many years if cared for properly. Standard veneers do typically last a bit longer than prepless ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental veneers can provide long-lasting results when properly cared for and maintained. Porcelain veneers are considered highly durable and resistant to staining, while the overall longevity of any veneer will depend on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces, lifestyle habits, and regular dental care.
Standard veneers typically require a small amount of enamel to be removed before placement, while prepless veneers are thinner and can often be placed with little or no alteration to the natural tooth. At your cosmetic consultation, Dr. Alex Martin can evaluate your teeth and discuss which type of veneer is appropriate for your smile and aesthetic goals.
Lumineers are a type of very thin, prepless veneer made from Cerinate porcelain. Prepless veneers are designed to require little or no removal of natural tooth enamel, although not every patient is a candidate for this type of veneer. Dr. Martin can determine which veneer option is best suited to your teeth.
Yes. At Alex Martin, DDS, we offer modern dental veneers designed to closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Porcelain has light-reflecting qualities similar to natural enamel, and veneers can be customized to complement the shape, size, and color of your smile.
Veneers can improve the appearance of mildly crooked, uneven, or misshapen teeth by changing their visible shape and position. However, veneers do not physically move teeth. If you have more significant alignment concerns, Dr. Martin may recommend orthodontic treatment such as clear aligners instead.
Yes. Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of small gaps between certain teeth by adding carefully shaped material to the tooth surfaces. During a consultation, Dr. Martin can determine whether veneers are an appropriate option for closing your specific gaps.
Yes. Veneers can cover certain types of tooth discoloration that may not respond adequately to professional teeth whitening. Porcelain veneers are also resistant to staining, making them a popular option for patients who want a consistently brighter-looking smile.
The number of veneers you need depends on your smile goals and the teeth you want to improve. Some patients may benefit from veneers on only a few teeth, while others may choose a larger number to create a more comprehensive smile transformation. Dr. Martin can recommend an individualized treatment plan during your cosmetic consultation.
In many cases, dental veneer treatment can be completed in approximately two visits to our Scottsdale dental office. The exact number of appointments depends on the type and number of veneers being placed and your individual treatment plan.
Veneers should be cared for much like your natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly, attend routine dental appointments, and avoid habits that could damage your veneers, such as biting on hard objects. Dr. Martin can provide personalized recommendations for maintaining your new smile.
