Porcelain Veneers in Henderson, NV

What Are Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth. Each one is shaped and shaded to correct chips, gaps, stains that whitening cannot fix, worn edges, and mild crowding, so the result looks like a naturally great smile rather than a set of new teeth. Porcelain is the material we recommend because it resists stains, holds its shine, and mimics the way real enamel catches light.

Veneers are a cosmetic treatment, but they are also a protective one. A veneer covers weakened or worn enamel and can stop small chips from getting bigger. At Densley Dental, we only place veneers on teeth that are healthy underneath, and we will tell you if a crown, bonding, or Invisalign would serve you better.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?

Veneers work well for adults with healthy gums who want to fix one or more of the following:

• Teeth that stay yellow or gray after professional whitening
• Chipped, cracked, or worn-down front teeth
• Small gaps or slightly uneven spacing
• Teeth that look too short, too small, or misshapen
• Old bonding or veneers that have discolored

If you grind your teeth at night or have active gum disease, we will treat that first so your veneers last. Patients with significant bite problems are usually better served by Invisalign before any cosmetic work.

Getting Your Veneers

Visit One: Consultation

Your first visit is a consultation. Dr. Sidhu listens to what you like and do not like about your smile, takes photos, digital scans, and X-rays, and maps out the shape, length, and shade of each veneer. You will see the plan before anything is done to your teeth.

Visit Two: Preparation

A very thin layer of enamel is removed so the veneers sit flush with your neighboring teeth. We take a precise impression, hand it to our in-house lab, and place comfortable temporary veneers so you never leave with a gap.

Visit Three: Placement

We try in each veneer, check the fit and color in natural light, and adjust anything that is not perfect. Then the veneers are bonded, polished, and your bite is checked. You leave with your finished smile and simple care instructions.

Caring for Your Veneers

Treat veneers like your natural teeth: brush twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and keep your six-month cleanings. Avoid using your front teeth to open packages or bite fingernails, and wear a night guard if you clench or grind. With that routine, most patients get 15 to 20 years or more out of their veneers.

Expert Cosmetic Dentistry with Veneers in Henderson, NV

Veneers are one part of what a cosmetic case can involve. Some patients need whitening on the teeth beside the veneers so the shades match. Some need bonding or a crown on a tooth that is too damaged for a veneer. Some need Invisalign first so the teeth are in the right position before anything is bonded to them. Because Densley Dental handles all of it in one Henderson office, you are not sent to three practices to finish one smile, and the doctor planning your case is the one doing the work.
