Reshape your smile with porcelain veneers
Chipped, stained, uneven, or gapped front teeth can make you think twice before you smile. Porcelain veneers at Desert Willow Dental in Glendale can help change that. We use thin, custom-made porcelain shells to reshape the look of your teeth and create a smile that feels natural and like you.
Veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic solution. Each one is designed to match the color, shape, and size that suit your face. Whether you want to improve one tooth or refresh your whole smile, Dr. Russell Crane and Dr. Amanda Pharo will walk you through your options and what to expect.
What porcelain veneers can address
Porcelain veneers are a flexible option for many common smile concerns. They are often considered for:
- Discolored or stained teeth that have not responded to whitening
- Chipped or worn front teeth
- Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Minor alignment concerns
Not every smile needs veneers. For simpler concerns, dental bonding may be a quicker, more conservative choice. If your main goal is a brighter shade, teeth whitening may be all you need. At your visit, we will compare options and recommend what fits your goals and your teeth.

The veneer process at our Glendale office
Most veneer treatment takes about two to three visits. Here is what to expect:
- Consultation and smile design planning. We talk about your goals, examine your teeth, and plan the look together.
- Tooth preparation. A thin layer of enamel is adjusted so each veneer fits well. Numbing is available if you need it.
- Impressions. We capture precise records of your teeth. Our digital dentistry tools, including CEREC technology, help support accurate planning.
- Temporary veneers. While the lab crafts your final veneers, you wear temporaries so you can keep smiling.
- Final placement and bonding. We check the fit, color, and bite, then bond your veneers in place.
Timelines vary from case to case, and we will give you a clear plan at your consultation.

Benefits of porcelain veneers
Natural-looking results
Porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel, so its color and translucency can blend with the teeth around it.
Stain-resistant material
Porcelain is highly resistant to staining from coffee, tea, and red wine, which helps your smile stay bright.
Conservative tooth preparation
Only a thin layer of enamel is adjusted, preserving more natural tooth structure than a full crown.
Long-lasting improvement
With proper care and regular dental visits, porcelain veneers can maintain their appearance for many years.
