Although we all long for those perfect teeth we see on the big screen, the truth is that most of us have some form of dental imperfection. But is anyone surprised that Hollywood is more about glamour than honesty?
Small cracks, stains, and chips are completely normal blemishes that can be easily fixed with a simple and un-intrusive cosmetic procedure. At our practice, we are proud to offer dental veneers in Las Vegas to give you the smile you've always wanted.

Most people are excellent candidates for dental veneers. So long as you have a generally healthy smile, you'll qualify for this effective cosmetic option. Here's what makes a good candidate for veneers:
If you have bruxism, that would also prevent you from receiving veneer treatment. This condition is commonly known as teeth grinding. However, there are two forms of bruxism (daytime and nighttime), and both of them require treatment before you receive veneers.
When it comes time to fasten them to your teeth, the process is straightforward and quick. First, we will use a mild chemical on the teeth receiving a veneer. This solution will rough up the enamel just enough for securer fastening.
