Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry solutions we offer. These ultra-thin ceramic shells are custom-made for your teeth and bonded to the front surface to improve the colour, shape, and minor alignment of your smile. Veneers are made from dental-grade porcelain, a translucent material that closely mimics the look and feel of natural enamel, giving you a beautiful but natural-looking finish.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
We recommend porcelain veneers to correct a range of cosmetic issues, including discolouration that doesn’t respond to whitening, chips, cracks, worn edges, minor misalignment, gaps, and irregular tooth shapes. This makes veneers a flexible option for people looking to address several aesthetic concerns with a single treatment plan.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are less invasive than dental crowns and offer the benefit of correcting colour, shape, and size all in one treatment plan. The porcelain surface resists stains and closely resembles the natural translucency of real teeth, a major reason why so many people choose this option for their new smile.
Natural-Looking Results Designed Just for You
We design every veneer to look realistic by matching the shape, size, and shade to your natural smile, working with you and a skilled dental ceramist.. Tanya Khattra, DDS, personally plans your smile, ensuring the veneers suit your face and goals. Many patients opt to veneer only the teeth most visible when they smile, often the upper front six to eight teeth, for the best, most balanced result.
How the Porcelain Veneer Process Works
The typical process starts with a consultation and smile design, where we use photos and impressions to plan your result. Next, we prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel, typically about 0.5 to 1.0 mm, from the front surface. We take precise impressions, which are sent to a dental lab, and fit you with temporary veneers to wear while your permanent ones are being crafted. At the final bonding appointment, we check and adjust the fit, then permanently bond your custom veneers.
Caring for Your New Veneers
Temporary veneers can feel a bit different than your final ones, so we recommend avoiding sticky and hard foods during this stage. After bonding, you may notice mild sensitivity that typically fades in a few days. Good at-home care includes brushing gently, flossing daily, and coming in for regular checkups. If you grind your teeth at night, we may provide a night guard to protect your veneers. Please call us if a veneer ever feels loose or your bite feels uneven.
What to Expect: Permanence, Durability, and Cost
The porcelain veneer procedure is considered irreversible because a small amount of enamel is removed; your tooth will always need a veneer or crown in the future. Veneers are designed to last for many years and can be replaced when needed with good care. We ensure you have a clear understanding of your total cost before you commit and offer support with reviewing insurance benefits and discussing financing if needed.
