Dental Veneers in Gilbert, AZ
Custom porcelain and composite veneers in Gilbert, AZ, planned and placed by Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD.
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of your teeth to change the appearance of their color, shape, and proportions. At Dentists 'R Us in Gilbert, AZ, veneers are planned and placed by Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD.
Patients visit our Gilbert office to improve the color, shape, or visible alignment of their teeth. Veneers can address chips, gaps, discoloration, and uneven shaping; how many visits your case involves depends on the plan you and Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD, agree on.
Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD, plans each veneer case individually at our Gilbert office, including shade and shape selection made with your input.
Porcelain vs. Composite Veneers
We offer two types of veneers, each with distinct advantages. Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted in a dental lab from ultra-thin ceramic shells. With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years.
Composite veneers use tooth-colored resin applied and sculpted directly on your teeth. They generally cost less than porcelain and may be a fit for minor corrections like chipping, small gaps, or slight discoloration. Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD, will explain which option applies to your goals, timeline, and budget.
What Veneers Can Fix
Veneers can be used to address several kinds of cosmetic concerns:
Chips & Cracks
For minor chips, cracks, or uneven edges, veneers may be an option for evening out the smile line.
Discoloration
For stains or permanent discoloration that whitening does not address, veneers may help cover them.
Gaps & Spacing
For small to moderate gaps between teeth, veneers may be an option for closing them without braces.
Misalignment
Create the appearance of straighter teeth without orthodontics — an option Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD, may discuss for mildly crooked or rotated teeth.
Worn Teeth
Teeth worn down by grinding, aging, or acid erosion may be candidates for restoring a more natural-looking length and shape.
Uneven Smile
Veneers are often used to adjust the size, shape, and proportions of teeth for a more even smile line.
The Veneer Process — Step by Step
Step 1: Consultation & Design
Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD, evaluates your teeth and discusses your goals. Together, you will select the shade, shape, and number of veneers. This is a collaborative design process — your preferences guide the final plan.
Step 2: Preparation
A small amount of enamel is typically removed from the front of each tooth so the veneer can fit properly. We take digital impressions and place temporary veneers while your final set is custom-crafted in a dental lab.
Step 3: Bonding
Once the lab has finished your veneers, you return so we can try them in, verify the fit, shade, and appearance, and then bond them in place. We fine-tune the bite and polish each veneer to complete the visit.

Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer typically involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front of the tooth. Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD, will explain what preparation your case would involve before you decide.
Are You a Good Candidate for Veneers?
Ideal candidates for veneers have healthy gums and adequate enamel, teeth with cosmetic issues (chips, stains, gaps, misalignment), realistic expectations about results, and a commitment to maintaining good oral hygiene. Patients with severe grinding (bruxism) may need a night guard to protect their veneers. Those with significant decay or gum disease should address those issues first. During the consultation, Dr. Ryan Nia, DMD, examines your teeth and discusses whether veneers could address your goals — and which alternatives may apply if they are not the right fit.
Caring for Your Veneers
- Brush & floss daily — Veneers need the same daily care as natural teeth
- Avoid biting hard objects — Do not use veneered teeth to open packages, bite nails, or chew ice
- Wear a night guard — If you grind your teeth, a guard may be recommended to help protect your veneers
- Use non-abrasive toothpaste — Avoid whitening toothpastes with harsh abrasives
- Keep regular dental visits — We can check veneer margins and condition during your routine visits

Composite veneers are applied directly to the tooth in the office, while porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental lab, so their cost structures differ.
