Who Can Benefit from Veneers?
Do you shy away from photographs or hide your smile because of chipped, stained, or broken teeth? Dental veneers transform these imperfections and give you a brighter, more confident smile.
Whether you’re a professional looking to impress at a board meeting or want to flash a smile without a second thought, veneers offer transformative results.
What Veneers Can Do for Your Smile
Veneers are thin, custom-crafted coverings placed on the front surfaces of your teeth, typically crafted of porcelain or composite resin. Their popularity lies in their ability to imitate natural tooth enamel and effectively address a variety of aesthetic dental issues, including:
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Gaps or uneven spaces between teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Slightly misaligned teeth
The Process for Getting Veneers
Your teeth and gums must be healthy to create a good foundation for your veneers, so the first step is an evaluation by our skilled cosmetic dentist, Dr. Gregg Chan. Once we ensure your underlying oral health is top-notch, we take the following steps to custom-craft your veneers:
Consultation — We collaborate with you to understand your goals, answer your questions, and ensure veneers align with your vision for your smile. - Preparation — A thin layer of enamel is removed from your tooth's surface to make space for the veneer.
- Impression taking — A mold or digital scan of your tooth is taken. This impression is sent to a lab where your veneer is crafted perfectly.
- Bonding to your tooth — Once ready, we check the veneer for fit and color, make adjustments as necessary, and bond it to your tooth.
5 Steps to Care for Your Porcelain Veneers
Treating your veneers with a little TLC will ensure they stay bright and beautiful for many years. Here's how:
- Use non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush.
- Avoid biting down on hard objects.
- Wear a mouthguard if you participate in sports
- Consider a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth.
- Continue regular dental check-ups for optimal oral health.
