What are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry option used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, worn, chipped, or misaligned. They are thin shells of porcelain or resin, measuring less than 1.5mm in thickness, that are cemented onto the front surface of the tooth. The process of getting veneers typically involves preparing the tooth, taking an impression, creating a custom veneer at a dental laboratory, and then cementing it in place.

Dental Veneers: A Solution for a Range of Dental Issues

Dental veneers are a great solution for a wide range of cosmetic and structural dental issues, including:

Minor misalignment
Uneven teeth
Teeth discoloration
Cracked or chipped teeth
Gaps in teeth
Wear and tear

The porcelain used in veneers mimics the natural colour of teeth, making them an ideal option for those looking to improve the appearance of their smile.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dental solution that are customized to fit the shape of a patient’s mouth. They are a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve your smile appearance. They are long-lasting and are maintained like natural teeth.

Flawless Smile with Custom-Fit Porcelain Veneers

City Oasis Dental has a professional staff offering excellent porcelain veneers in Toronto. The procedure may require a patient’s teeth to be filed down slightly before being used and are permanently fixed to their teeth. They are made in an offsite lab and are tailored to fit exactly onto a patient’s teeth. Our dentists can also match the color of the veneers to the shade of your teeth so that neither you or anyone can notice anything different.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Veneers offer several advantages such as:

Natural tooth appearance
Colour matching to actual tooth color
Gum tissue tolerance
High stain resistance
Conservative approach to changing tooth color and shape

Veneers are more expensive and time-consuming than bonding, but less expensive than crowns and also conserve the natural tooth.

How are veneers placed?

Dental veneers are placed over a single tooth to improve its appearance and strengthen it. Your dentist will custom design veneers that fit your tooth shape before applying it to your tooth.

Porcelain veneers are glued to your tooth using a dental bonding glue or cement. Once the veneers are attached, they become very strong and are typically resistant to most activities, such as eating hard foods. It’s important to still use precaution as too much pressure can cause the porcelain veneers to shatter.

You’ll visit the dental office several times before getting your veneers to make sure the dentist has the right tooth shape and that your teeth are prepared. Your dentist will often shave your enamel or remove some of the tooth in order to fit the veneers.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for the procedure?

While veneers can solve a wide range of oral and cosmetic problems, it’s not the right solution for everyone. For example, veneers only last 10 to 30 years. They’re a great way to strengthen your teeth and make them resistant to stain, but other treatments like teeth whitening and braces are also great solutions that you can consider.

In addition, dentists need to remove some of your tooth or enamel to place the veneers. This may cause complications depending on the experience of the dentist and the condition of your oral health. It can potentially cause future tooth decay or sensitivities.

How many veneers do I need? Is there a minimum?

For a complete makeover, patients often choose multiple veneers to place over the problem areas. You may only get one veneer to place over a single tooth, or you can choose multiple.
