What are veneers?
Dental veneers are slim wafer-like restorations that cover the front aspect of teeth.
A single veneer can enhance the appearance of a single tooth, and a set of veneers on multiple teeth in a row can give your smile a whole new look.
Veneers are cosmetic restorations which means that they help to improve the look of teeth, but they are not intended to treat issues like large tooth fractures or cavities. Veneers can be made of a composite resin material or carved from porcelain.

How we place dental veneers.
This is the process we use to place porcelain veneers.
step 1
Evaluate your teeth.
During a comprehensive dental health examination, our team will listen to your concerns about your smile, answer your questions and explain the dental veneers treatment process in greater detail. The dentist will let you know if veneers are right for you, and if so, which type and how many you will need. Then we will review with you the bespoke treatment plan the dentist recommends.
step 2
Prepare your teeth.
To place porcelain veneers, we will need to slightly reduce the fronts of your teeth so that the restorations will lie flush with the surface of your tooth. This preparation process is quick and painless, as we will make sure your teeth are numb before we begin. After that, we will scan your prepared teeth and use the design to create your custom veneers. We will send you home with protective temporary veneers.
step 3
Place your veneers.
Once your porcelain veneers are finished, we will invite you back to our practice to place your veneers. We will carefully check the fit and show you how they look. If you are happy with the results, we will securely bond them to your teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking new smile.

Frequently asked questions about dental veneers:
How do I take care of my veneers?
Caring for your veneers is as easy as caring for the rest of your teeth. Clean between your teeth, including the ones that have veneers. Brush at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Schedule regular dental check-ups to keep your veneers and overall oral health in excellent condition.
How much is a full mouth of porcelain veneers?
Very few people can afford to have veneers placed on all of their teeth, and in most cases, it is neither practical nor necessary. Veneers are best suited for the front teeth, where they are less likely to be exposed to heavy biting forces. Placing veneers on back teeth can increase the risk of them becoming damaged or dislodged due to the pressure of chewing.
Instead of getting a full set of veneers, you may achieve your ideal smile by combining different cosmetic dental treatments. For example, you can whiten all your teeth, place veneers on the few front teeth that need them, and restore back teeth with dental crowns if they require additional strength and support.
Which are better: composite or porcelain veneers?
Composite veneers and porcelain veneers both aim to enhance the aesthetic appearance, but there are differences in the way they are applied. Composite veneers are applied directly to teeth as a putty-like material and are shaped and cured onto the teeth with little to no alteration of the tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers are created separately outside the mouth and then bonded to the teeth after a small amount of the enamel has been removed.
We cannot say which is better because both types of veneers offer unique advantages. It’s up to you to decide which advantages are most important to you and your smile goals.
We offer porcelain veneers at our practice because porcelain is a durable material that closely resembles natural tooth enamel. Visit us to find out more about the benefits of both types of veneers.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Yes, a porcelain dental veneer is a permanent restoration. Once a veneer is placed, the tooth will always need to be protected with either a veneer or a dental crown. While veneers are designed to be long-lasting, they are not guaranteed to last forever. With proper oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and by avoiding habits that could damage them, your veneers can provide a beautiful smile for many years.
What if my veneer falls off my tooth?
A well-made porcelain veneer will not easily fall off a tooth, so you do not have to worry about this too much. The porcelain material is bonded to your tooth enamel in a process that is much stronger than simply using a dental cement.
A veneer can pop off, however, if the tooth experiences an unusual amount of stress, such as if you bite into hard objects with a veneer-covered tooth. Losing a veneer may also happen if the underlying tooth develops a cavity.
In any case, there is no need to panic. Simply call our practice and tell us what happened and we will see you ASAP. Bring the veneer with you to your appointment where the dentist will carefully examine your tooth to find out what happened. We will either reattach the veneer with a secure bond or recommend getting a new veneer if the old one is damaged.
