Veneers in Vancouver, BC, are versatile cosmetic restorations that can conceal most tooth flaws. Depending on your goals, you can choose to treat one tooth or several.
A dental veneer is a thin shell of strong porcelain fixed to the forward-facing tooth surface. Like dental enamel, it reflects light and blends easily with surrounding teeth.
To cement your porcelain dental veneer, the dentist must remove some enamel to ensure a non-bulky and natural-looking finish. Removing enamel means you must consider your veneers permanent and replace them if they are lost or damaged.
Composite bonding is like veneers but may not conceal as many aesthetic issues or enjoy the same longevity.
Dental Issues Veneers Can Hide
Veneers can conceal a wide range of cosmetic flaws, including:
- Short or worn-down teeth
- Gummy appearing smiles
- Slight misalignment
- Discolouration
- Small spaces between teeth
- Unusually shaped teeth
Your dentist consults with you to ensure veneers are suitable for you, will correct your cosmetic flaws, and help you achieve your smile goals.
