Why Get Veneers?
ve·neer (vĕ-nēr'),
1. A thin surface layer laid over a base of common material.
2. In dentistry, a layer of tooth-colored material, usually porcelain or composite resin, attached to and covering the surface of a metal crown or natural tooth structure.
[Fr. fournir, to furnish]
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Dental porcelain veneers are very thin, custom-made, tooth-shaped pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front and biting edges of teeth to create a beautiful, natural smile.
Porcelain veneers are a dream come true for people who have been in despair about their smile. Dr. Devore often sees patients who come to him to find out what can be done to correct a smile that has lost its luster over the years. Others come to him because they feel they have lost the competitive edge in their career due to cosmetic flaws in their smile. They are universally delighted to learn how effective porcelain veneers are in eliminating an embarrassing facial feature and replacing it with an engaging and brilliant smile.
Porcelain veneers in Las Vegas are popular because they boost self esteem and confidence. This is particularly important to those who rely on a warm friendly and engaging smile in their career. If you are considering a Smile Makeover, then you should be sure to ask Las Vegas Veneers Dentist - Dr. Devore - about the benefits of getting porcelain veneers.
The teeth are prepared for the placement of the veneer. A small amount of the natural tooth is removed, so that the veneer can be added on top of the natural tooth. If the veneers are made of ceramic, a temporary veneer will be placed and the impression will be sent to the laboratory. At the second appointment, the permanent veneer will be placed. At this appointment, it will be crucial to check the color, shape and feel before cementation.
Veneers are simple to maintain just like natural teeth. Just like natural teeth, avoid grinding your teeth or chewing things extremely hard, such as ice or hard candy. Initially, you will go through a period of getting used to the new teeth, however after about one-two weeks the veneer will feel comfortable.

Porcelain veneers is a very straightforward procedure, yet so many patients come to Dr. Devore because their previous veneers are showing their age, or worse, they do not look like they belong to the patient. As a leading veneers dentist in Las Vegas, Dr. Devore routinely gives these patients the smile they were hoping to achieve with veneers. Patients leaving his office have a smile that fits their face.
The process begins with a visit to our Las Vegas Dental Care office where the patient’s vision for their smile is discussed. Many patients take the opportunity to correct other dental flaws or gum disease before porcelain veneers are placed and if this is needed, Dr. Devore will incorporate this into the plan.
Impressions are taken of the teeth allowing Dr. Devore to create a model which shows the patient in three dimensions exactly how they will look. His attention to details such as this, added to his artistic perception is what sets him apart from any other veneers dentist in San Diego. While photos go a long way in helping patients see what the result of their smile makeover will be, this modeling technique clearly reflects the final result.
During the next appointment, the temporary veneers are placed and then patients spend a week or so deciding if this new smile is meeting expectations. If not, the veneers are adjusted until the patient is completely happy. The permanent veneers are then bonded into place and the process is done.
Is Las Vegas Invisalign Right for you?
FOUR WAYS TO DETERMINE “IS INVISALIGN RIGHT FOR ME?”
This is, first and foremost, the biggest determinant of if you are a good Invisalign candidate. Invisalign has a difficult time fixing cases that are too severe. That’s because, for issues like large overbites, more advanced orthodontic procedures are necessary to shift the jaw.
As long as the case isn’t overly severe, here is a list of situations Invisalign can treat:
Gapped teeth
Crowded teeth
Overbite
Underbite
Crossbite
Invisalign is perfect for older teenagers and adults. However, children and young teenagers do not always make good candidates for Invisalign because their teeth are still growing.
Older teenagers and adults especially enjoy Invisalign because of its transparency. The teenage years come with enough discomfort to have to worry about braces. Dating, prom pictures, just walking through high school hallways – the desire for a more transparent option is obvious.
Yes, Invisalign is relatively easy. However, the treatment comes with an option that other orthodontics do not provide – you can remove them.
In fact, you are required to remove your aligners when you eat and drink (except for water). Other than these instances, Invisalign must remain in your mouth for no less than 22 hours per day.
Plenty of orthodontists instruct patients to wear a retainer shortly after removing their braces. However, it’s not uncommon for patients to neglect their post-treatment obligations. Thus, their teeth begin to shift to their position before treatment.
