Porcelain Veneers in Henderson, NV

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of hand-shaded ceramic bonded to the front of your teeth. They give the longest-lasting change in color and shape, and a thin layer of enamel comes off first. So your 3D treatment plan starts from your face, and you see it before he touches a tooth.

How porcelain veneers are made here, in three visits

From the approved design to the finished ceramic takes about three visits over three weeks. Dr. Goh seats every veneer himself, so the person who designed your smile checks your bite.

Design and try-on

A Digital Smile Design team builds your 3D treatment plan from your records, and at least four more dentists review it. In a lot of cases you try the new smile on as a printed copy set over your own teeth. Dr. Goh drills nothing, and the printed smile comes off before you leave.

Shaped to the design

Dr. Goh removes a thin layer of enamel from the front of each tooth. The approved design sets how much comes off, so he takes only the enamel the ceramic needs.

Bonded and checked

The finished veneers carry shading applied by hand, so they read as your own teeth rather than a flat white row. Dr. Goh bonds each one and checks how your teeth meet before you leave.

Enamel does not grow back, so the design comes first

Porcelain needs room: a veneer is thin, but laid over an untouched tooth it adds bulk and the tooth looks too thick. So Dr. Goh removes a thin layer of enamel from the front first, and enamel does not grow back.

That is why he plans the finished smile before any prep. The design starts from your face, the width of your smile and how much tooth shows when you talk. It then sets how much enamel each tooth gives up, one tooth at a time.

Porcelain or composite veneers?

Both kinds of veneer reshape several teeth from a design you approve, and the difference is the material and what it costs your enamel.

Porcelain resists stain best and lasts longest, but you give up a thin layer of enamel for good. Composite goes on top of your teeth, with no drilling in most cases, and it wears and dulls sooner. Dr. Goh tells you what your case needs.

  • Porcelain fits

    You want the longest-lasting change in color and shape, and you are sure enough to give up a thin layer of enamel.

  • Talk first

    Grinding or clenching at night puts load on any veneer, so Dr. Goh checks your bite at the exam.

  • Something else first

    Active gum disease or decay gets treated before any cosmetic work. Teeth far out of position may need Invisalign® first.

Individual results vary, and porcelain veneers are not reversible: the enamel that comes off does not grow back.

Porcelain veneer questions

7 questions
Porcelain veneers are $2,200 per tooth at Smiles by Goh, and every price is on our Dental Costs page. The total depends on how many teeth the design covers, and you see it in writing before anything starts. Plans often do not pay for cosmetic work, and CareCredit and Cherry offer payment plans.
Porcelain resists stain best and lasts longest, while composite picks up color from coffee and red wine more readily and wears and dulls sooner. The trade is enamel: porcelain needs a thin layer removed, while composite goes on top with no drilling in most cases. Dr. Goh tells you what your case needs.
A 60-minute Smile Reveal visit with Dr. Goh comes first, before any design work starts. After it, expect about three visits over three weeks. One is to see and try on the design, one to prepare the teeth, and one to seat the finished ceramic.
Dr. Goh talks you through how he keeps you comfortable before he shapes anything. If you want extra ease, nitrous oxide and oral sedation are both available at Smiles by Goh. The real cost is enamel: a thin layer comes off the front of each tooth and does not grow back. That is why you see and approve the design first.
Smile veneers, dental veneers and cosmetic veneers are different names for the same thing. Most people who say smile veneers mean a set across the teeth that show when you smile, rather than a single tooth. How many depends on your smile: the photos and video from your first visit show how many teeth you show when you talk and laugh. Dr. Goh plans the set from your face, so the shape and color fit together.
In a lot of cases, yes: you try the new smile on as a printed copy set over your own teeth. Dr. Goh drills nothing, and the printed smile comes off before you leave. What goes home is your 3D treatment plan and before-and-after photos. Work on only a few teeth, or a patient already decided, may skip this step.
More questions (1)
Porcelain is the longest-lasting cosmetic option Dr. Goh offers, and he gives you his own read at your visit rather than a number. Three things decide how long yours lasts. They are the seal where the veneer meets the tooth, the health of the gums around it, and grinding at night.

Approve the design before any enamel comes off

The first visit is a conversation with Dr. Goh, plus a video, five photos and a 3D scan of your teeth. He tells you whether porcelain is the right tool, or whether composite or whitening would do the job. Dr. Goh touches no enamel at either Smile Reveal visit.

Open four days a week: Monday to Thursday one week, Tuesday to Friday the next. 8 AM to 5 PM, with an early day on Thursday (7 to 3) or Friday (7 to 1). No evenings or weekends. Call to check which week it is.
