Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surfaces of your teeth, improving their look. Typically made from tooth-coloured materials like composite resin or porcelain, veneers are a versatile cosmetic dentistry solution that can hide imperfections such as chips, cracks, stains, or gaps. At Courtice Family Dentistry, We specialize in providing stunning, natural-looking veneers that will improve your smile and confidence.
Veneers work by covering the visible front part of your teeth to provide a flawless look. They can improve the color, shape, size, or length of teeth, depending on your specific needs. Once bonded to your natural teeth, veneers can dramatically improve your smile, helping you achieve the perfect look right here in Courtice.
Dental veneers are ideal for individuals looking to address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
At Courtice Family Dentistry, we provide personalized veneer solutions tailored to your unique smile. We provide personalized veneer solutions tailored to your unique smile. It is vital to note that applicants for veneers should be in good oral health. If you have cavities or gum disease, you should get them treated before undergoing cosmetic procedures like veneers.
The key difference between veneers and crowns lies in their coverage. Veneers only cover the front surface of a tooth and are primarily for cosmetic purposes. Crowns, on the other hand, cover all of the teeth and provide both cosmetic and structural benefits. Crowns are usually indicated for damaged or weakened teeth, but veneers are a choice for people who want to improve the look of their teeth.
At Courtice Family Dentistry, our dental professionals will guide you through choosing the right treatment based on your individual needs and smile goals.
Several types of veneers are available, each with unique advantages:
During your first appointment at Courtice Family Dentistry, we will inspect the condition of your teeth to determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for veneers. If you qualify, your teeth will have a little bit of enamel removed to make way for the veneers. Impressions are then taken and sent to a dental lab, where your personalized veneers are made.
At your second appointment, we will look at the veneers’ fit, color, and form before cementing them to your teeth with dental cement. The process typically takes about two visits, and once completed, veneers can last for many years with proper care.
While veneers are not considered permanent, they are long-lasting. With careful care, they can last 10 to 15 years before needing to be replaced. At Courtice Family Dentistry, we offer high-quality veneers that are designed to stand the test of time, ensuring your smile stays beautiful for years.
Veneers are a safe cosmetic technique, but they, like any other dental treatment, have possible dangers. For instance, while veneers do not damage the underlying tooth, it’s still possible for the tooth to decay. Routine dental care is crucial to maintaining the health of the veneered teeth.
There is no significant recovery period after getting veneers. You can resume normal activities, including eating and drinking, immediately after the procedure. However, it’s advisable to avoid very hard or crunchy foods for a few days while you adjust to the veneers.
If you experience discomfort or notice any issues with your veneers — such as cracking, loosening, or discoloration — contact Courtice Family Dentistry immediately. Maintaining the integrity of your veneers needs routine exams.
