Many people use porcelain veneers to correct crooked teeth. Porcelain veneers allow you to straighten your teeth without having to wear uncomfortable braces. You may have heard this procedure referred to as Instant Orthodontics. We call it that because your teeth will be instantly straightened after the porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth.

Having straight teeth is important for both health and appearance. But there is no need for you to spend years wearing painful metal braces and brackets. Today's modern dental technology allows us to straighten teeth in just a few weeks with customized crowns, bonding and porcelain veneers available at our Las Vegas, Nevada practice. The aesthetic aspect is important, because having a smile you love can affect your happiness and self-esteem, whether you are an adult, a teenager or a child.

Porcelain veneers can be applied to chipped and broken teeth, restoring your healthy smile. You may opt to have surrounding teeth veneered as well to create a consistent look. Also, if you have broken or chipped teeth that were not damaged in an accident, the next concern will be to find out why your teeth are chipped or broken. Grinding or clinching your teeth at night may cause the damage. This activity while you are sleeping can cause stress to your teeth. To prevent further chipping, cracking or breakage to existing teeth and to your porcelain veneers, Dr. Blasco may recommend a custom fabricated nightguard.

If you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, you want to replace that tooth with a natural looking option. The two options are a porcelain bridge or a dental implant. Most people choose the dental implant because it is more permanent than a bridge. Ask Dr. Blasco which option is right for you.

There are several approaches that can be taken to make your teeth whiter.

i) At Home Whitening. This is the most common solution to brighten your smile. If you are happy with the size and shape of your teeth and you dont want to correct gaps, broken or chipped teeth, this could be the right option for you. Click here to learn more about at home whitening.

Patients like you often come to see us to eliminate dark tissue (black line) at the gum line where their existing crown or bridge is located. This is most often seen in older dentistry. Before advancements were made in porcelain crowns and bridges, dental labs used porcelain-metal crowns. The metal in these crowns caused the gum tissue near that crown or bridge to appear dark or in some cases almost black. Today, we use all porcelain crowns & bridges to eliminate that dark area and to create a more cosmetically pleasing smile. You can eliminate that black line by having Dr. Blasco replace your dental work with all-porcelain dentistry.
