Veneers
Henderson, Nevada
When teeth are chipped, stained, uneven, or have small gaps, it can make you feel self‑conscious every time you smile or speak. Custom porcelain veneers offer a reliable, conservative way to reshape and brighten your front teeth so your smile looks natural, balanced, and confident. Each veneer is a thin, custom-crafted shell that fits over the front of your tooth, masking flaws while preserving most of your healthy tooth structure.
Dr. George Harouni uses extensive cosmetic experience to plan veneers that fit your face, lips, and bite, not just your teeth. The goal is a smile that looks like you were born with it, only more polished. At our Henderson practice, you are treated like family, with plenty of time to ask questions and share your goals.
We provide top-quality veneers.
Dr. Harouni works with high‑quality porcelain materials that resist staining and reflect light much like natural enamel. From your first visit to our bright, open office to your final smile reveal, you can expect a calm, comfortable experience and results you're proud to share.

A dental veneer is a thin, custom‑made porcelain shell bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Think of it as a precise cosmetic cover that refines the color, shape, and alignment of your tooth while preserving most of the natural structure underneath. Veneers are a go‑to option when whitening, bonding, or orthodontics alone cannot create the look you want.
Patients can choose to treat a single tooth or several teeth in the smile zone. Compared with older, bulky restorations, modern porcelain veneers are slim, strong, and carefully layered to reflect light like natural enamel. Dr. Harouni plans each veneer with attention to your facial features, gumline, and bite so your new smile looks balanced from every angle and feels comfortable when you chew and speak.
The veneer process is smooth, efficient, and focused on your comfort, usually completed over two main visits after your initial consultation. The veneers process typically involves the following steps:
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic option that allow Dr. Harouni to improve several concerns in the front of the mouth:
Covers deep stains or discoloration that do not respond well to whitening.
Smooths and rebuilds chipped, worn, or uneven tooth edges.
Closes spaces between teeth without braces in many mild cases.
Adjusts length and contour to create a more even, harmonious smile line.
Camouflages slightly rotated or crooked teeth when full orthodontic treatment is not needed.
Natural‑Looking Enhancement
Porcelain veneers can be shaded and shaped to match your existing teeth or to create a brighter, more uniform smile. Because the material reflects light like enamel, the result looks like real teeth, not dental work.
Conservative Tooth Preparation
Compared with full crowns, veneers usually require less removal of healthy tooth structure. This helps maintain tooth strength while still giving you a dramatic cosmetic upgrade.
Stain Resistance and Longevity
High‑quality porcelain resists staining from coffee, tea, and wine better than natural enamel. With good daily care and regular cleanings, veneers can stay bright and attractive for many years.
Many adults who are unhappy with the color, shape, or spacing of their front teeth are good candidates for veneers. Ideal candidates have healthy gums, strong tooth roots, and enough enamel for the veneers to bond securely.
If you have active tooth decay, gum disease, or heavy grinding, these issues may need to be addressed first. In some cases, alternative treatments such as bonding, whitening, or orthodontics may be better suited to your needs. During your visit, Dr. Harouni will review your goals, examine your bite, and help you decide if veneers are the safest and most predictable option for your smile.
Most patients return to normal activities right after their veneer visits. Once the numbing wears off, you may notice mild, short‑term sensitivity to temperature or pressure, which can usually be managed with over‑the‑counter pain relievers.
While wearing your temporary veneers, it is best to avoid very hard or sticky foods and to chew more carefully in the front. After your permanent veneers are bonded, you can brush and floss as usual, using a soft toothbrush and non‑abrasive toothpaste to protect the porcelain surface.
The cosmetic improvement from veneers is visible as soon as they are placed. You will see a more even, brighter smile the same day.
With consistent brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings, veneers can keep your smile looking refreshed for many years. Avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages, and consider a nightguard if you clench or grind, as this helps protect both your veneers and your natural teeth over time.
Creating beautiful veneers calls for both technical skill and an artistic eye. Dr. George Harouni brings more than 28 years of experience, including decades serving the local community, to every cosmetic case. As a clinical instructor at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine, he stays current with modern materials and techniques while teaching future dentists how to deliver careful, detail‑oriented care.
Our independent practice focuses on relationships, not volume. From our bright, open treatment rooms to our on‑time scheduling and gentle anesthesia methods, every visit is built around your comfort. With a wide range of financing options, patients can feel confident that their veneer treatment will be both high-quality and accessible.
With good home care and routine dental visits, porcelain veneers often last ten to fifteen years or longer. Their lifespan depends on factors like your bite, habits such as grinding or nail‑biting, and how well you care for your teeth and gums. Wearing a nightguard if you clench or grind can help extend the life of your veneers.
No. Dr. Harouni carefully selects the shade, shape, and surface texture of each veneer to blend with your surrounding teeth and your overall facial features. High‑quality porcelain has a natural translucency, so your smile looks refreshed and bright, not artificial.
Your comfort is a priority. Before preparing your teeth, Dr. Harouni uses gentle anesthesia techniques to numb the area so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some temporary sensitivity after treatment is possible, but most patients describe it as mild and short‑lived.
The main difference is how much of the tooth is covered. A veneer is a thin shell bonded only to the front surface of the tooth to improve its appearance. A crown covers the entire tooth above the gumline and is usually used when a tooth is badly broken or weakened and needs full structural support.
