Veneers

Veneers Are an Option

People may not give a lot of thought to veneers but they can be a good dental option for some people. Veneers can add strength to weak teeth, cover damaged teeth, and provide a uniform smile.
Our office can give you veneers if that is the recommendation the dentist thinks is the best one for you. It can be a big choice because veneers can change

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are an outer shell that is put over the front of the tooth to cover damage, decay, or protect a weak tooth. They are natural tooth coloured so they look like your other teeth. They can be placed over any tooth or any number of teeth.
Veneers are made of several types of high-quality materials like porcelain or tooth-coloured composite. They work exceptionally well to cover chips, cracks, gaps, stains, and other tooth imperfections like teeth that are too small or misshapen teeth.

When You Would Need a Dental Crown

Your dentist may recommend a dental crown in several situations. It can protect a cracked tooth, restore a tooth worn down, or hold a dental bridge in place. Two of the most common reasons for getting a dental crown are to cover a tooth where the dentist has performed a root canal or to cover a dental implant.

The Difference Between a Veneer and a Crown

A veneer only covers the front of the tooth while a crown covers the entire tooth. Crowns can be made out of metal as well as ceramic, porcelain, and composite while veneers are made out of substances that are a natural tooth colour.

Types of Veneers

Composite
Porcelain
No-prep veneers
Removable veneers

The no-prep veneers are less invasive than using composite or porcelain. They are custom-made for you, as are other veneers. However, traditional veneers require that some enamel be removed to place them. The no-prep veneers require less enamel to be removed, which is why people like them.
Removable veneers are pop-on varieties that you can use anytime like a retainer.

The Procedure

The procedure to get veneers is painless and requires your dentist to use dental cement to attach them permanently to your teeth. Veneers don't come with any downtime and you can go back to your normal schedule the same day.

The biggest part of getting veneers is choosing the right ones to customize. That includes shade and the right fit for your teeth. They will be custom-made and shipped to your dental office unless the office can custom-make them on-site.

That means you will need to appointments to get through the process. Getting veneers is the right solution for those who have chronic problems with damaged teeth and want to improve their appearance. A nice smile can work wonders for your confidence and veneers can help with that. Schedule a consultation today to discuss your options with our dentist!
