Dental Veneers
Chipped teeth, misaligned teeth, gapped teeth or stained teeth can all lead to you feeling like you want to hide your smile. If you would like to discuss solutions so that you can be proud of the way your teeth appear, we’ll be happy to meet with you. One of the many options we have that may be suitable for you is dental veneers.
What Is a Dental Veneer?
Dental veneers are a thin covering that goes over the surface of your existing teeth. When applied, they can mask blemishes and make your teeth look gorgeous. Teeth that aren’t in the proper position or are misshapen can benefit from having veneers applied. If you’re unsure as to whether they could be right for you, book in for a consultation with our team.
What to Expect When Getting Veneers
When you come in for your consultation, we’ll discuss why you want veneers. If we think that other treatment options are more suitable for your goals, we’ll detail them to you so that you can decide what’s best. Once you’ve decided to proceed, we’ll use our digital scanner to get a full picture of your teeth and how the veneers should be applied.
You’ll be able to see a before-and-after model of your teeth. If you agree to move ahead, we’ll order the veneers from our laboratory. Meanwhile, your teeth will be prepared to receive the veneers.
We can discuss the shade and shape with our laboratory technician to be certain they’re created to our exact specifications. Once your veneers have been custom-fabricated, you can return for a follow-up visit. We’ll examine your veneers together, then cement them into place.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my veneers last?
Dental veneers will last for about 10 years with the proper care. Be sure to brush and floss them as you would your natural teeth. Refrain from eating ice or other hard substances, which can damage your veneers. We do not recommend that people who grind their teeth at night get veneers, as they will be easily chipped..
Those who can benefit most from veneers are people who have teeth that are discoloured, misshapen or cracked. Veneers are a long-lasting alternative to other forms of cosmetic treatment such as teeth whitening. While teeth whitening certainly can improve the appearance of your smile, veneers can correct many cosmetic imperfections and help you achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Typically, they do not. Porcelain is not prone to staining in the same way that natural teeth are. You still need to practice excellent oral hygiene habits such as brushing at least twice a day. That’s because after several years, staining can occur at the edges of the veneers where they meet your regular teeth.
Are there any alternatives to veneers?
Yes. Depending on what you want to correct, your dentist might suggest teeth whitening, bonding or dental crowns as an alternative treatment. It depends on your budget and what it is you’d like to achieve.
