Dental Veneers to Transform Smiles
The professionals at North Shore Smile Dentistry understand how feeling self-conscious about your smile can affect your overall self-confidence. For many adults, dental veneers can be an effective way to address cosmetic issues and create a smile that is brighter and more symmetrical.
Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells designed to blend with the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth. They are bonded to the front surface of the tooth being treated in order to help cover imperfections and alter its size, contour, or colour.
Veneer treatment is tailored to your unique smile goals and oral health needs. During your veneers consultation, our team will discuss your concerns and help determine whether veneers are a suitable option for achieving a smile that you are proud to show off.
What is The Veneer Process?
Depending on the type of veneers being used, it may first be necessary to prepare your tooth by removing a thin layer of enamel. This helps ensure a proper fit and a strong bond. An impression or digital scan is then taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your veneers are crafted to fit precisely.
Once fabricated, the veneers are carefully bonded to the front surface of your natural teeth. Each veneer is designed to complement the shape and shade of your smile. The porcelain material reflects light in a way that closely resembles natural enamel, helping create a smooth, natural-looking result.
What Are Dental Veneers Used For?
If you're looking to change the shape of individual teeth or improve the balance of your smile, dental veneers may be a less intrusive alternative to dental crowns.
Veneers can be used to address a number of cosmetic issues, including worn, crooked, or discoloured teeth. They can also help close small gaps and adjust the size or proportions of your teeth.
With proper care and regular dental visits, your custom-made dental veneers can last for many years.
