Porcelain Veneers FAQ

Las Vegas, Nevada

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells of porcelain that are created to fit over the front sides of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are made specifically to correct the problems you have with your teeth. Your porcelain veneers are created to perfectly match the color, shape, size, and even the translucency of the rest of your teeth.

How durable are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are very durable after they have been bonded to your teeth. Porcelain veneers are also stain resistant, just like your natural teeth. The best way to maintain your porcelain veneers is to perform smile maintenance and schedule routine check-ups with Dr. Paez. If your porcelain veneers ever become cracked, chipped, or broken, they can be replaced very easily. With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last for many years.

How are porcelain veneers attached to my teeth?

Porcelain veneers are permanent cosmetic dentistry solutions. Once you receive your porcelain veneers from the dental lab, Dr. Paez will cement them to your teeth. To do this, Dr. Paez will roughen the front of your teeth and apply a special bonding adhesive. Then, a light will be directed at the porcelain veneers, curing the adhesive and bonding the veneers to your teeth.

Will my teeth look fake or unnatural?

No. Many people are unsure about porcelain veneers because they think the porcelain veneers will look too big or unnatural. In order to prevent this, Dr. Paez will carefully remove a small amount of the enamel on your teeth. Then, after taking an impression, your porcelain veneers will be created to perfectly match the size and shape of the rest of your teeth. This means that after your permanent porcelain veneers have been created, they will seamlessly match the rest of your teeth, leaving you with a beautiful new smile.

How much do porcelain veneers cost?

The cost of your porcelain veneers will depend on the number of teeth receiving the veneers. The best way to determine the cost of your porcelain veneers is to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Paez. Dr. Paez will evaluate your teeth, determine if porcelain veneers are right for you, and inform you of how much they will cost during your initial consultation. Dr. Paez will also provide you with various payment options, including Care Credit so that you can afford your porcelain veneers.

What problems can porcelain veneers correct?

Porcelain veneers are incredibly versatile. People use porcelain veneers to correct dental problems such as:

• Worn Teeth
• Chipped Teeth
• Cracked Teeth
• Misshapen Teeth
• Disfigured Teeth
• Crooked Teeth
• Spacing Problems
• Broken Teeth
• Stained Teeth

If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your smile, schedule an initial porcelain veneers consultation with Dr. Paez in Las Vegas, Nevada and find out if porcelain veneers are right for you.

Can I whiten my porcelain veneers?

No. Unfortunately, once your porcelain veneers have been bonded to your teeth, they cannot be whitened any more. If you are considering receiving porcelain veneers, you may want to choose a teeth whitening procedure to lighten your teeth before receiving your porcelain veneers.
