Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. As a cornerstone of cosmetic dentistry in Las Vegas, they can be used to treat severely stained teeth, chipped or broken teeth, misaligned or misshapen teeth, or gapped teeth. At Mesa Dental, we offer both traditional prep veneers and no-prep Lumineers, allowing us to customize your treatment to match your unique smile goals and overall oral health.
Dental veneers are a long-term investment in your confidence and quality of life. Porcelain veneers can last 15 to 20 years with proper care, making them a durable and cost-effective cosmetic option for patients throughout Summerlin and the greater Las Vegas area. We offer flexible financing through CareCredit and in-house payment plans to help make your treatment accessible.
You don’t need veneers for every, tooth Depending on your needs, you can get just one or an entire set.
During your consultation, you'll discuss the issues you have with your smile and how you'd like to change it. Your dentist can talk to you about veneers as well as other treatment options. Together, you'll decide if veneers are the right option for you. We take time to listen to your goals and create a personalized plan aligned with our whole-health approach.
Once you've decided to move forward with veneers, your dentist creates a treatment plan aligning with your smile goals and preferences. This plan outlines which teeth are treated, how many veneers you'll need, and if any other cosmetic or restorative treatments are required.
At your next appointment, your teeth are prepared to accommodate your veneers. Your dentist cleans and numbs your mouth, and then removes a very thin layer (0.5mm or less) of enamel from each tooth getting a veneer. This ensures a good hold for the veneer and avoids adding thickness to the treated teeth. For Lumineers, little to no enamel removal may be necessary.
After your teeth are trimmed, you'll have dental impressions and pictures taken of your teeth. These are sent to a dental lab where your permanent veneers are created. You are sent home with a set of temporary resin veneers, which protect your newly-prepared teeth until your permanent veneers are ready.
Once your permanent veneers arrive at our office, you'll see your dentist for your fitting. At this appointment, your dentist checks the fit of your veneers to ensure they look and feel natural. Minor adjustments can be made before placement, if necessary.
Once your dentist has checked the fit of your veneers and everything looks good, they're attached to your teeth permanently using powerful dental cement, and you'll be sent home with a beautiful, brand new smile.
In some cases, tooth staining or discoloration may not respond to other cosmetic methods, like teeth whitening in Summerlin. Severe or internal tooth stains — such as tetracycline stains — may persist even after professional whitening. Dental veneers can completely cover the stained surface and restore a natural, bright appearance.
If your teeth are worn from issues like teeth grinding (bruxism), dental veneers may be an appropriate treatment to restore their shape and appearance. It’s also important to address the root cause of worn teeth. If you grind, you may benefit from a night guard through our preventive dentistry services to protect your veneers long-term.
Veneers may address minor chipping or breakage limited to the outer enamel and dentin layers. More serious damage may require a dental crown. Veneers are also widely used to treat and restore irregular or misshapen teeth, providing a straighter, more even smile.
Minor tooth misalignment and gapping can be resolved with dental veneers in Summerlin, Las Vegas. For more serious alignment issues, orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign may be recommended before cosmetic treatment.
With proper care, your veneers can last between15 and 20 years.
Porcelain veneers at Mesa Dental are priced at $1,800 per tooth. Most dental insurance plans classify veneers as cosmetic procedures and don’t provide coverage, though some plans may cover a portion if veneers are medically necessary following trauma or injury. We accept CareCredit financing and offer in-house payment plans to make your treatment manageable.
According to the American Dental Association, cosmetic dental procedures are typically excluded from standard insurance coverage, though exceptions exist for restorative necessity. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and explore all available payment options.
Porcelain veneers are made from high-quality ceramic materials closely mimicking natural tooth enamel in appearance, translucency, and durability. They typically last 15-20 years with proper care and resist staining better than composite options. Composite veneers are made from resin material, cost less ($800-$1,400 per tooth), but generally last only 5-7 years and are more prone to staining and chipping. While porcelain veneers require a thin layer of enamel removal and are permanently bonded to your teeth, composite veneers can sometimes be applied with minimal tooth preparation. We can help you determine which option best suits your smile goals, budget, and long-term dental health needs during your consultation.
Veneers are highly versatile and can address multiple cosmetic concerns in a single treatment. They effectively cover severe tooth discoloration that whitening treatments can’t improve, including tetracycline stains and internal tooth discoloration. Veneers can close minor gaps between teeth, repair small to moderate chips or cracks, reshape irregularly shaped or worn teeth, and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment without orthodontics.
However, veneers work best for cosmetic issues affecting the front-facing surfaces of teeth. If you have extensive tooth decay, significant structural damage, or severe misalignment, you may need alternative or additional treatments like crowns, root canals, or Invisalign first.
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 15–20 years before needing replacement. To maximize veneer longevity, brush and floss daily, visit Mesa Dental every six months for dental exams and cleanings, avoid chewing hard objects, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. Because a thin layer of enamel is permanently removed during initial placement, your teeth will always need protection with veneers or another restoration. When veneers eventually need replacement, we can restore individual veneers or a full set with the same precision and care.
Yes, traditional porcelain veneers are a permanent treatment because the procedure requires removing approximately 0.5mm of enamel. The process at Mesa Dental typically requires 2–3 visits over several weeks. Because dental veneers are permanent and cannot be reversed, we encourage all patients to discuss their goals thoroughly with Dr. Browner before proceeding.
