What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment that instantly corrects a variety of dental imperfections with minimal alterations to your natural teeth. A very thin piece of porcelain is custom-made for each patient and applied directly to the front of the tooth with durable bonding to hide damage, misalignments, and discoloration. The results are a more uniform, vibrant, and balanced smile.

What are the Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?
Dental veneers are the ideal solution for many patients because they offer several benefits when compared to other cosmetic treatments. The most significant benefits include:
1. Instant Transformation
Unlike braces or dental aligners that take months of treatment to achieve the results you want; porcelain veneers are an immediate treatment that improves your smile’s appearance right after application. Skip the long wait and fix dental misalignments, spacing issues, and uneven teeth with high-quality porcelain veneers.
2. Durability
The porcelain used to make dental veneers is incredibly durable and resistant to damage. While many patients assume porcelain veneers may be delicate or will easily wear down, they will typically last about 15 years or longer with the right care.
3. Natural Look and Feel
Like so many other cosmetic procedures, from facelifts to nose jobs and beyond, veneers have only gotten better with time. Since becoming available to dental patients decades ago, the technology and materials used to make porcelain veneers have come a long way. Veneers now look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth, with custom sizing, shaping and translucency to match your smile and overall facial features.
4. Resistance to Staining and Bacteria
Porcelain veneers are strong and less porous than natural teeth, which makes them resistant to staining and plaque. This means your smile will stay brighter longer, and your teeth may be less prone to bacteria buildup.
What Dental Issues can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
Veneers are an excellent cosmetic treatment for patients with these types of dental problems:
● Cracked or chipped teeth
● Crooked or misaligned teeth
● Unevenly shaped teeth
● Spacing issues
● Worn-down teeth
● Yellowed or stained teeth
Am I a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
If you have an aesthetic dental issue, you may be a good candidate to get porcelain veneers for the perfect smile you will love. Patients may want to consider veneers as a cosmetic solution if they:
● Have severe dental stains or discoloration that do not respond to whitening treatments.
● Have fractured, cracked, or chipped teeth.
● Have crooked or misaligned teeth.
● Have unevenly shaped teeth or want to change the shapes of their teeth.
● Have spaces between the teeth that need to be closed.
● Have worn down teeth from clenching and/or grinding.
● Practice good oral hygiene.
Your dentist will discuss concerns and what you can do to improve your dental health before any type of cosmetic treatment is done.

What is the Process for Getting Porcelain Veneers?
The porcelain veneer process involves several steps to ensure the veneers fit perfectly and will last as long as possible.
First Appointment - Initial consultation - The first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tati and her team to see if veneers are the best option for your cosmetic needs.
Second Appointment - Preparing the Teeth & Designing the Temporary Veneers - If you are a good candidate and decide to move forward with veneers, your dentist will prepare your teeth by gently reshaping the teeth as needed. Dr. Tati designs a custom-tailored temporary new smile based on each patient’s unique goals and their overall facial features. With a conservative approach, she minimally shapes and fits the patient’s teeth for hand-crafted temporary veneers that will be worn for approximately two weeks. This unique step allows patients to test drive their new, improved smile.
Third Appointment - Design Finalization - After wearing the temporary smile for 24-48 hours, the patient returns to provide feedback on the look and fit of their veneers. Using this feedback, Dr. Tati and a master ceramist will work with the patient to make the necessary modifications. These highly customized temporary veneers will then serve as the blueprint for the final
Fourth Appointment - Final Veneer Placement - Dr. Tati fits the patient with the final porcelain veneers. At this visit, she removes the temporary veneers, cleans the teeth and bonds in the new, permanent smile.
Fifth Appointment - Follow Up - During this final re-contouring appointment, Dr. Tati applies the finishing touches to the patient’s new smile. This occurs one to two days after the veneers are placed.
One Year Follow Up - Veneers often look better with time as they age in the mouth because the facial muscles and gums adapt to the new teeth and make them look more natural than the day they were put in. At this visit, we will check the overall health and condition of the veneers as well as take a final set of photos.
How Long do Porcelain Veneers Last?
Veneers, if treated properly, should look and feel great for up to 15 years after their placement. On average, porcelain veneers should last about 15 years. They can potentially last longer if you practice good oral hygiene and take proper care of your teeth. On the other hand, if you have poor dental habits, including teeth grinding, using your teeth to open things, playing high-impact sports without a mouthguard, or doing other activities that could potentially crack your veneers, they may need to be replaced more frequently.
Dr. Tati and her team will provide tips on how to care for your veneers and what you can do to keep them looking their best.
Do Veneers Need Special Care?
No, there is no special care or extra steps you need to take with your oral hygiene routine if you have dental veneers. However, porcelain veneers require the same dental care as your natural teeth. You will need to brush and floss regularly to remove harmful bacteria that can cause tooth decay and gum disease. You should also see your dentist regularly to ensure your veneers are in good condition and help stay on top of your oral health.
What is the Cost of Porcelain Veneers?
The cost of Las Vegas porcelain veneers will depend on the patient. Some factors to consider that could affect the cost include:
● If you need full or partial porcelain veneers.
● If you need a full set of porcelain veneers or only need them on specific teeth.
● If you need additional procedures or dental treatments during the process.
