Porcelain Veneers in Las Vegas, NV

Our dentists at Elegant Smiles will determine if you are a good candidate for veneers by checking your overall oral health. Ideal candidates should not have signs of gum disease, dental decay, or habitual teeth grinding and jaw clenching (called bruxism). Our doctors will begin by taking photos and impressions for a diagnostic wax-up, which will simulate the proposed final look of your veneers in wax. You will sit down with one of our doctors to choose the specific teeth shapes and style that you desire. The wax-up is used to aid in fabricating the temporaries that you will receive on the day of preparation. Once the cosmetics of the wax-up have been reviewed and approved by both the patient and the doctor, we will begin to make room for the porcelain veneers by preparing a little bit of enamel from the front of your teeth. Sometimes, no preparation is needed.

Our experienced doctors are trained to create gorgeous and natural-looking veneers with minimal prep dentistry, and we accomplish this by working together with an experienced cosmetic laboratory. The laboratory fabricates ceramic and color-matching veneers so natural, that it will look like you had nothing done. Your veneers should be cleaned daily with regular brushing and flossing. While cosmetic veneers are more resistant to stains compared to natural enamel, you should still stay away from staining drinks and foods to keep your smile bright. To prevent harming your veneers, you shouldn't chew on hard objects, such as your fingernails or ice. Continue to go to dental exams and cleanings at Elegant Smiles so we can track the condition of your veneers, teeth, and overall oral health. Our team will let you know if your porcelain veneers have to be replaced or repaired.
