What Are Veneers?
A veneer is a porcelain shell that covers the front surface of the tooth for aesthetic reasons. It can be done on one tooth or many, depending on your goals.
Who Needs Veneers?
Anyone who wants to correct relatively minor cosmetic issues with their teeth may benefit from veneers. They are an excellent option for:
- Crooked or misshapen teeth
- Gaps or crowding
- Uneven biting surfaces
- Stained or discoloured teeth
The Process
There is an in-depth planning process for veneers. At your first appointment, we’ll take photos and moulds, and we’ll create a mockup of the veneers in your mouth to ensure you are happy with the shape and colour. If so, we’ll send the impressions and specifications to our dental lab.
At the preparation appointment, we’ll get your teeth ready for the veneers. This will involve making minor adjustments to the front of your teeth so that the veneers do not add too much thickness to your smile. Finally, when we get your veneers from the lab, we will bond them to the front of your teeth.
FAQs
If your teeth are significantly crowded or misaligned, orthodontic treatment may be needed. If your teeth are broken down, other types of restorations may be more suitable than veneers.
Porcelain veneers last about 15-20 years. Composite veneers are a less expensive option, but they only last 5-7 years. They also chip and stain more easily than porcelain veneers.
