DENTISTRYPorcelain Veneers
If you are looking for dramatic results, porcelain veneers are by far the most popular and effective way to get that WOW smile! Preferred by many of our guests, porcelain veneers give you the ultimate smile makeover experience. This procedure is simple and comfortable, transforming your smile in as little as two to three visits. We also have a video series that answers many of the most common questions we recieve. You can find that here.
The Perfect Smile Solution:
Veneers instantly reshape your teeth and smile. Made from porcelain, veneers are ultra-thin, custom made ceramic restorations that are placed on the front of your teeth. Most cosmetic dental problems, such as chipped, gapped, stained, discoloured, aged or misaligned teeth, can be solved with porcelain veneers. They can be used to lengthen or shorten your teeth to restore a more youthful smile. Veneers are an excellent replacement for old white plastic fillings, and the process is more conservative than restoring your teeth with crowns. This treatment, also referred to as instant orthodontics, can reposition your teeth and is a good alternative to traditional braces if you want immediate results.
Not only are they almost as strong as your own teeth, veneers resist discolouration and are the most natural looking restoration available. Porcelain veneers are custom made, and able to blend in with your natural teeth, giving you the brightest, whitest smile possible.
The Process:
Your porcelain veneers are custom designed to give you the smile that you want to achieve. We work with you to carefully plan the colour, shape and size of the veneers to give you the beautiful, natural smile you are looking for.
This simple procedure can be completed in as little as two to three visits. At the first visit, we will discuss your goals for your new smile. At the second visit, your teeth are prepared for porcelain veneers. The porcelain veneer is incredibly thin, so only a small amount of enamel from the surface of the tooth needs to be removed. Unlike crowns or caps, veneers require very little reduction of the natural tooth. Impressions are made, and temporary veneers are placed, which look like the final product. These temporary veneers are adjusted to allow us to create the exact size and shape of veneers that look perfect for your smile. The porcelain veneer is then custom-designed to fit naturally and perfectly over each individual tooth, using the temporaries as a guide for size and shape. Within three weeks, you will return to have your new custom made veneers put into place.
You will adjust to your new porcelain veneers in about two weeks. They will look, function and feel the same as your natural teeth. Many guests find that veneers are even better because they resist staining. Another benefit is that there are no food restrictions – once they are placed, you can resume your normal diet.
