Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers Can Help Bring Back Your Bright Smile
Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells that are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve how they look.
Each veneer is custom-made to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth while complementing your facial features, helping your smile look its best.
Veneers are a practical option for patients looking to address cracked, chipped, stained, or slightly misaligned teeth.
For teeth that haven’t responded to whitening or need a little more than just a colour upgrade, veneers can cover persistent discolouration and create a more even smile.
The Dental Veneer Procedure
The dental veneer procedure is a relatively straightforward way to improve the look of your teeth, usually requiring little to no anesthesia.
To start, your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of your tooth to make space for the veneer.
Next, a 3D scanner is used to take an impression of your tooth, which is then used to create your custom veneer. In some cases, a temporary veneer may be placed while your permanent one is being made.
Once your custom veneer is ready, you’ll return to the dental office for placement. Your tooth will be thoroughly cleaned, and the veneer will be bonded using a special light.
Finally, your dentist will polish the veneer and make any adjustments needed to ensure a comfortable fit and a natural-looking smile.
The Results of Veneers
Veneers can transform the appearance of your smile by improving the shape, colour, and alignment of your teeth.
The result is a natural-looking, even, and radiant smile that can boost your confidence. Because each veneer is custom-made to match your teeth and facial features, the outcome looks subtle and harmonious, not artificial.
Veneers are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a polished smile that feels like your own while addressing imperfections such as chips, gaps, or stains.
If whitening is part of your treatment plan, you will probably want to whiten your teeth before getting veneers.
Whitening first allows your veneers to be matched to a lighter, more radiant shade, helping enhance your overall smile.
