Enhancing Your Smile with Veneers
At West End Dental Centre, we offer high-quality, custom veneers to transform the appearance of your smile. Veneers are a minimally invasive cosmetic solution that covers imperfections like discolouration, chipped teeth, or minor gaps, providing you with a bright and natural-looking smile.
What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured material designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. These porcelain or resin composite shells are bonded to the teeth, enhancing their colour, shape, size, or length. Veneers offer an effective way to address common cosmetic concerns, including:
- Discoloured or stained teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Misaligned or irregularly shaped teeth
- Gaps between teeth
Benefits of Veneers
Choosing veneers can enhance both the appearance and function of your teeth. Benefits include:
- Natural Appearance: Veneers are custom-made to match the natural look of your teeth, giving you a flawless smile.
- Durability: Porcelain veneers are strong and can last for many years with proper care.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers resist staining better than natural teeth, helping you maintain a whiter smile.
- Minimally Invasive: Veneers require only a small amount of tooth structure to be removed, making them a less invasive option than crowns.
The Veneer Process
The process of getting veneers typically involves three steps:
- Consultation: During your initial visit, we will discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and determine if veneers are the best option for you.
- Preparation: A thin layer of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to allow the veneer to fit properly. Impressions are taken and sent to the lab, where your custom veneers are crafted.
- Bonding: Once the veneers are ready, they are bonded to your teeth with a special cement. After placement, minor adjustments can be made to ensure a perfect fit.
Veneers Maintenance
Maintaining your veneers is simple with regular oral hygiene practices. We recommend brushing and flossing daily and visiting us for routine cleanings to ensure your veneers remain in great condition.
