Porcelain Veneers in Goodyear, AZ
A More Balanced Smile That Still Looks Unmistakably Like You.
You know which tooth people notice first: the chipped one, the darker one, or the gap you’ve learned to hide in photos. You also don’t want teeth that look too white, too bulky, or obviously done. Porcelain veneers at Francis Dental in Goodyear are designed around your face and previewed before anything is final, so people notice your smile, not your dental work.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic shells bonded to the front of the teeth to change their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers cover deep stains that whitening can’t lift, close small gaps, and rebuild chipped, worn, or uneven edges. A single veneer can fix one tooth that stands out, while a set across the front teeth balances the whole smile.
Placing traditional veneers removes a thin layer of enamel, so the treatment is permanent. Porcelain is used because it matches the translucency, texture, and hardness of natural enamel.
Veneers should refine the smile you have, not replace its character.
Comfortable Digital Scanning
Your veneers are designed from a digital scan of your teeth, not a tray of impression goop. The scan gives the dental lab a precise model of your bite, so each veneer is built to fit.
Will Veneers Look Natural?
Yes, when they’re designed around your face instead of a template. Natural teeth aren’t one flat white or perfectly identical, and veneers that look real aren’t either. Dr. Tyler Francis talks through what “natural” means to you and helps you pick a shade that suits your complexion. You wear temporary veneers in the new shape first, so the result is never a surprise.
What Brings Patients In
A patient from Goodyear, AZ came in for porcelain veneers after the bonding on her four front teeth had stained and chipped again ahead of her daughter’s wedding. She wanted it fixed for good, but she was afraid of ending up with a bright, bulky smile that looked fake. Her temporaries let her test the new shape in daily life, and she asked for slightly softer edges before the final veneers were made. At the wedding, she smiled in every photo, and nobody could pinpoint what had changed.

FAQs
Frequently
Asked Questions
It depends on what bothers you. Whitening works when color is the only concern, and bonding can fix a small chip. Veneers are the better fit when stains, chips, gaps, and uneven shapes overlap on the same teeth, or when bonding keeps staining and breaking.
Porcelain veneers typically last 15 to 20 years with good care. Brush and floss daily, keep your checkups, and avoid chewing ice or using your teeth as tools. Ask about a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Not without replacing them. Traditional veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel, so the teeth underneath need protection from new veneers or crowns. A chipped or worn veneer is usually repaired or replaced individually.
Lumineers® are a brand of ultra-thin veneers, about 0.2 mm thick, compared with about 0.5 mm for traditional veneers. Lumineers® often need little or no enamel removal. Traditional porcelain veneers can correct a wider range of shape, size, and color concerns.
Veneer cost depends on how many teeth are treated, the health of your teeth and gums, and the size and shape of each tooth. A cosmetic consultation gives you an exact quote. Most insurance plans offer limited coverage for cosmetic treatment, and Francis Dental offers in-office financing.
No, not when they're designed around your face. The porcelain is shaded to your complexion and neighboring teeth, and you preview the shape with temporary veneers before the final set is made.
