What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are tiny porcelain shells that fit over the front surfaces of teeth, completely concealing flaws such as discoloration, chips, and misalignment. Veneers are crafted from translucent tooth-colored porcelain that is remarkably durable.
Our lab technicians custom-design each individual veneer to complement our patient’s unique smile and facial features. Once in place, porcelain veneers look and feel indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Porcelain Veneer Placement
Typically, placing porcelain veneers requires two visits to our office in Las Vegas after the initial consultation.
During the first visit, Dr. Downey will begin by applying a local anesthetic. Next he will shave down a small portion of tooth enamel to accommodate the veneers. Then he will take an impression of your teeth and mouth, which he will send to the dental laboratory, technicians will custom-craft your porcelain veneers. Finally, he will place attractive temporary veneers, which you will wear for about two weeks, which is when your permanent veneers will be ready.
When the porcelain veneers are ready, you will return to our office for the second visit to have them placed. The dentist will begin this visit by administering a local anesthetic. He will carefully remove the temporary veneers and place the permanent ones. He will then use special cement to bond the veneers firmly to your teeth.
Finally, he will buff the veneers to a shine, so you can leave our office with a brand flawless smile! With proper care, veneers will give your smile a natural-looking brilliance for years to come!

Fix Years of Dental Frustration in Just a Few Weeks!
You try not to think about it…but you notice it.
Every morning when you brush your teeth.
Every time you catch your reflection in the mirror.
Every time someone pulls out a phone for a group photo.
You smile… just not fully.
You angle your head slightly. You keep your lips closed. You laugh, but you cover your mouth without even realizing it.
Maybe it’s the discoloration that whitening never quite fixed.
Maybe it’s the slightly crooked tooth your eyes go straight to.
Maybe it’s the small gap that feels much bigger in your mind.
Maybe your teeth look worn down, uneven, or just not like the confident version of you.
And it follows you into your day.
In work meetings, you hesitate before speaking up.
When introducing yourself, you become hyper-aware of your smile.
At dinner with friends, you think about how you look when you laugh.
When meeting someone new, you wonder what they notice first.
It’s exhausting to feel self-conscious about something that should feel natural.
You deserve to smile without calculating the angle.
You deserve to laugh without guarding your mouth.
You deserve to walk into a room focused on the conversation, not your teeth.
The truth is, most people don’t need a completely different smile.
They need their real smile… corrected.

Imagine seeing a smile that looks healthy, balanced, and effortlessly natural.
Imagine not thinking about your teeth at all.
That is the difference.
Not perfection. Freedom.

“Within about 30 minutes, Dr. Downey placed temporary composite on my teeth and actually changed the shape of my teeth, hid discoloration, and created a fuller, more symmetrical smile. I was actually able to see what was possible and wore it around until the end of the day!”

Porcelain Veneers: Before & Afters
Are Veneers Right For Me?
A great candidate for dental veneers is someone who already has healthy teeth and gums but is looking to improve the look of their smile by overcoming minor dental issues that are primarily cosmetic in nature. Even small changes made with porcelain veneers can have a major impact. The most common issues that veneers can help correct include:
- Uneven and irregularly shaped teeth
- Misalignments
- Chips and cracks
- Worn out teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Gaps in teeth
- Decayed enamel
- Uneven or imbalanced gumline
For example, I treat a lot of patients that would simply like to improve the width and shape of their teeth. Veneers are a great way to fill out the look of your teeth, resulting in a more pleasing smile shape that takes a smile from good to stunning.
Historically dental veneers required shaping or grinding down your existing teeth. With our advanced training and improvements in veneer materials we can often make veneers that fit entirely over the top of your natural teeth. This means no shots, and no drilling to get veneers!
While not everyone is a good candidate for no-prep veneers it is much more common now than you might think. Be sure to ask if you are a candidate for no prep.
Even if you are not a candidate for no prep veneers the amount of shaving of your teeth is much less than what used to be required and they don’t require as much tooth removal as a dental crown. This means the amount of discomfort is minimal.
Patient Feedback
How Do I Maintain Veneers?
The short answer is to care for your veneers just like your normal teeth – brushing and flossing daily, thorough cleaning and exam every 6 months. This also means avoiding the urge to bite down on hard foods (ice cubes, nut shells, hard candy, etc) and completely steering clear of using your teeth as a bottle opener! The better you take care of your veneers, the longer they will last.
What Is The Cost of Veneers?
The price of porcelain veneers will ultimately depend on a few different factors, including how many teeth you want to address, the severity of the issue you are looking to correct, current oral health, and more. But generally speaking, porcelain veneers can cost around $2,200 for each veneer, which includes everything from the in-depth evaluation, digital impressions/scanning, custom-engineered veneers, lab costs, etc.
But before any treatment is started, we will provide you with specific pricing so you know all the costs upfront. We can also provide you with financing options to break down the cost into monthly payments if that is easier for you.
What Is The Procedure Like?
The process for porcelain veneers is a straightforward one and looks like this:
Second Appointment: Once the porcelain veneers are ready, you will come back to our office to complete the procedure. Your brand new veneers will be bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, allowing you to walk away with a brand new smile!
Initial Consultation: In this appointment, we’ll take a thorough look at your teeth to determine if you are eligible for porcelain veneers. Using advanced digital imaging, we will then create a digital preview of what your smile will look like after treatment. This helps to customize and confirm the look and feel of your veneers and determine if this is the right approach for you. In this visit we often do a Smile Test Drive directly in your mouth to give you an idea of exactly how veneers could look for you.
Digital Impressions: Once we’ve determined you are a good fit for dental veneers, the next step is to take a digital impression of your teeth. This will then be sent to a specialized lab who will engineer your custom veneers. We will also place temporary veneers on your teeth to protect them while the final veneers are being processed.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
When created with the right materials and cared for with good oral hygiene, porcelain veneers can last 15-20 years, or even longer. Just like a lot of things in life, the better you care for them, the longer they will last. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and having your dental exam every 6 months to keep watch on the overall health of your teeth.
Composite Veneers vs. Porcelain Veneers: Lifespan
Wondering how composite veneers stack up to porcelain when it comes to longevity? Composite veneers generally last around 4 to 8 years with consistent care, while porcelain veneers have a much longer track record—often maintaining their beauty and function for 15 years or more. The extra durability of porcelain comes from both the strength of the material and its resistance to staining and chipping. As always, regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups will go a long way in extending the life of whichever type you choose.
“Dr. Downey is by far the most amazing dentist I have ever had. I’ve always had anxiety seeing a dentist and him and his staff make seeing a dentist so much easier then what I have ever experienced in the past. I am so grateful to have found him! 100% recommend!”
– Ann P.
What Are The Risks & Limitations of Veneers?
Veneers sometimes require a small amount of reshaping to your teeth in order to place the veneers and ensure that they align naturally with your gum line. This reshaping is not reversible so if you are looking for a more temporary fix, then dental veneers are probably not for you. This is one of the things we can discuss more in depth at your appointment to help you make the best decision possible.
Although porcelain veneers are very strong and resistant to cracks, they are not indestructible. It’s important to recognize that your ability to take good care of your veneers (and other teeth) plays a big part in maintaining pristine veneers.
Will Veneers Look Natural?
Yes! In fact, most people are not able to tell that they are veneers. Because of our ability to match the shape, size, and color of your veneers, the results look very natural. I pride myself on my ability to create smiles that are both beautiful and realistic. Look at our before and after pictures to see what I mean.
Can Porcelain Veneers Fix My Dental Concerns?
Porcelain veneers are probably one of the most versatile solutions to elevating your smile. Because of their ability to cover gaps, cracks, gummy smiles, stains and discolorations, they are often the preferred choice for cosmetic treatment. While they can’t fix everything, they are one of the best solutions to transforming your smile in a fast, comfortable way.
