What Are Veneers?
Dental veneers are a great option for achieving a flawless Hollywood smile. They are very thin shells, typically created from porcelain or dental resin, that are permanently bonded to the front of your existing teeth to give your smile a complete makeover.
Many people choose veneers because they offer a permanent solution to clean-looking teeth. Some people who have deep dental stains from tobacco use, chipped teeth, or very worn teeth often consider this an option for changing their smiling.
What Are The Benefits of Veneers?
Veneers present several advantages over other cosmetic dental procedures. They’re able to give you a bright smile that you may not be able to obtain otherwise.
Although veneers are a permanent option that is still susceptible to damage, there are many benefits of veneers that can include the following.
Cover Up Problems
A cosmetic dentist can fix most dental problems through teeth whitening and teeth straightening, but sometimes those treatments aren’t enough to fix other dental issues. Sometimes stains can’t be removed entirely, and you may have misshapen or chipped teeth.
Dental veneers cover the surface of the teeth so they can hide cosmetic issues completely. In many cases, dental veneers can better restore the bright white of your smile than other cosmetic dental procedures. Veneers can be a one-stop solution to cover up problems due to a wide range of reasons.
Choice of Materials
Dental veneers are unique and allow you to choose between two materials. You’ll have the option of porcelain and dental resin. Porcelain veneers can be more attractive, durable, stain-resistant, glossier, and more natural-looking than dental resin veneers, but they tend to be more expensive.
The flexibility that veneers offer is an excellent way for you to choose what you’d like to do to achieve the smile of your dreams. The staff at Alaska Dental Arts will work with you step by step to ensure that your dental needs are met in the best way for you.
Natural-Looking Smile
Since veneers are made using porcelain or dental resin, they closely resemble the natural look of teeth. Porcelain has light-reflecting qualities that are similar to those of tooth enamel. And dental resin is molded and shaped like veneers to match your other teeth precisely.
When done right, your smile will look natural with veneers. And maintaining good dental hygiene will allow your veneers to stay in pristine condition to reflect the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
Resistant to Stains
A huge benefit to getting dental veneers is that the material is resistant to stains, which helps your veneers resist discoloration from coffee, tea, fruit drinks, and other staining foods and beverages.
The stain-causing compound will roll on top of your veneers or sit on its surface so it can be brushed off easily. Typically those foods and beverages will enter the enamel of your teeth and stain them. With veneers, you won’t need to worry about that.
Quick Results
Many teeth whitening, straightening, and other dental procedures require multiple visits and treatments to achieve the final result. However, you can get veneers and obtain the perfect smile with just one or two visits.
Your cosmetic dentist at Alaska Dental Arts can help mitigate your trips to the clinic. We’ll help you achieve your smile goals and maintain them with your regular dental checkups.
Minimal Preparation
Getting dental veneers requires only one or two visits to your dentist and very little preparation. Your dentist will help clean your teeth then remove a small amount of your tooth enamel to make room for the porcelain veneers.
You’ll have to do little preparation for getting veneers compared to other dental procedures such as dental implants. Getting your veneers can help you get a great smile in a way that is more accommodating to you.
Affordable Pricing
Cosmetic dentistry can become a long and pricy journey. However, veneers are affordable when comparing them to other dental restoration methods. They’re also long-lasting, so the investment in your veneers pays off.
If you’re worried about the pricing of your cosmetic dentistry, you can even invest in services like Alaska Dental Arts Savings Plan to help get the smile of your dreams.

Are Dental Veneers Right For Your Smile?
There are many reasons why you may want dental veneers to help you accomplish your smile goal. However, that may not mean that it is the right option.
During your consultation with our cosmetics team, we may suggest porcelain veneers. This may be an option for you if you want to correct dental imperfections such as:
- Spaces and gaps in between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Teeth that look too big, too small, or too pointed
- Very worn teeth
- Severely stained, darkened, or discolored teeth
- Fractured, chipped, or broken teeth
- Slightly crooked teeth
What Is The Process For Getting Dental Veneers?
Within two visits to Alaska Dental Arts, you can get veneers. We’ll make the appointments comfortable for you as we work on your teeth. To place porcelain veneers on your teeth, we will:
- Prepare your teeth by removing small amounts of your enamel from the front and sides of your teeth.
- Create an impression, or mold, of the prepared teeth.
- The dental impression is sent to a lab to make custom veneers to fit your teeth.
- We’ll place the veneers on at the next visit and check the fit and shape.
It may require further changes and adjustments at later appointments, but we’ll ensure that we’re helping you maintain a perfect Hollywood smile.
