Types of Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are custom-designed thin shells of tooth-like ceramic or zirconia material similar to a dental crown that fit over your existing teeth. Your existing tooth is not removed but reduced to accommodate the thin veneer. Veneers completely cover and fix teeth that are worn, uneven, misaligned, have spacing, or have chips or cracks. Dental veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent quality of modern veneer materials provide a natural look than what’s been available in the past. This enhanced aesthetic has made veneers a very popular and effective option for individuals seeking to boost their appearance with a seamless and lifelike appearance..
Composite Veneers
Also known as immediate veneers, composite veneers are veneers hand crafted by the Dentist out of composite resin material while the patient is in the chair.
Pros
- Can be crafted in the Dentist's chair same day.
- Less expensive.
- Can require less enamel removal
- Easily repaired or touched up if chipped as the dentist can simply add resin and cure.
Cons
- Prone to discoloration and staining over time
- Less durable — typically lasts 4–8 years before needing replacement and will more easily break.
Porcelain or Emax Veneers
Fabricated in a dental lab from ceramic or porcelain material, custom-fit to the tooth, then bonded on. Requires two visits.
Pros:
- Highly stain- and discoloration-resistant (coffee, wine, tobacco have minimal effect)
- Mimics natural tooth translucency and light reflection very closely
- Durable — typically lasts 10–15+ years with good care
- Smooth surface resists plaque buildup
- Strong, thin shells (as little as 0.3–0.5mm) so less tooth reduction needed with some techniques
Cons:
- More expensive (often significantly pricier than composite)
- Requires more enamel removal in traditional prep (though minimal-prep options exist)
- Multiple appointments usually needed (impression, lab fabrication, bonding)
- If damaged/cracked, generally must be replaced entirely rather than repaired
- Requires a skilled ceramist/lab for best aesthetic results
Zirconia Veneers (less common)
Made from zirconium dioxide, a very strong ceramic — more often used for crowns but sometimes for veneers needing extra strength.
Pros:
- Extremely strong and fracture-resistant
- Good biocompatibility, low risk of allergic reaction
- Can be a good option when the underlying tooth is compromised
Cons:
- Less translucent than porcelain, so can look more opaque/less natural
- More expensive
- Harder to adjust or fine-tune shade/shape once fabricated
- Overkill for veneers in many cases since crowns typically use zirconia's strength benefits better
How We Do Dental Veneers In Scottsdale
For lab fabricated porcelain or emax veneers veneers will be two visits:
Initial Consultation
You'll discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and decide if dental veneers are right for you.
Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel (about 0.3 to 0.7mm) is gently removed to make room for the veneer.
Digital Impressions
We will use a 3d oral scanner (our Medit or ITero) to capture a precise digital model of the prepped teeth and your bite - no messy impression material needed.
Temporary Veneers
While your custom veneers are being made, temporary veneers will be fabricated by hand and placed in your mouth to protect your prepped teeth.
Custom Veneer Fabrication
Our dental Lab fabricates your final veneers from porcelain, zirconia, or e-max, matched to the shape, color and style desired.
Optional Try In
With Some Patients we do a try-in to check the fit, color matching and bite before final bonding.
Bonding
The veneer is bonded to your tooth using a special adhesive which is infrared light cured for a strong lasting hold.
Final Adjustments
We will make final adjustments to ensure perfect fit, bite and natural appearance.

Real Patient Satisfaction with Cosmetic Results
“Having recently moved to the area, I was referred to Dr. Linda Perkins for both general and cosmetic dentistry. Several old crowns needed repair/replacement and my teeth were looking worn and no longer reflected a good look; just plain wear and tear. Dr Perkins replaced my veneers with incredibly natural looking work which is outstanding. My teeth and smile look like they did when I had a perfect “Hollywood smile” She kept me comfortable during every procedure and is a pleasure to deal with. She is very skilled and professional. I highly recommend her and her office.”
“My dentist, Dr. Perkins, in Scottsdale, set me up with invisible, clear braces. An amazing experience from start to finish. She kept me so comfortable throughout the whole process!”
“I've just completed my third crown with Dr. Perkins and am very pleased with the results. Dr. Perkins has many years of experience and that experience comes with kindness and respect. Dr. Perkins is a really good dentist and would highly recommend to anyone, especially those who have not had good experiences with dentists. Dr. Perkins will change those perceptions. As wonderful as Dr. Perkins is as a dentist, she's even a better human being! Thank you!!”
