What is a Dental Veneer?
Veneers are durable yet thin pieces of tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-made by a dental laboratory, to fit individual teeth precisely and alter the appearance of your smile.
At Wheatfield Dental, our dentists use veneers to mask damage, discolouration and imperfections, fill gaps between teeth and make the overall smile more symmetrical. Your dentist can bond veneers to the fronts of one or more teeth to help you achieve your smile goals.
The Dental Veneer Process
If veneers are right for you, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth that will be used to create your veneers and provide a precise fit.
Once your veneers have been crafted, they will be bonded to the fronts of your natural teeth.
Made from a razor-thin piece of porcelain, veneers are custom-shaped to alter individual teeth in the prescribed manner. Porcelain imitates the natural translucency of tooth enamel and provides a very natural look and feel.
Features of Veneers
If you are looking to change the shape of individual teeth or the evenness of your whole smile, you may want to consider dental veneers as a less-intrusive alternative to dental crowns.
Conditions that dental veneers can resolve include worn, crooked, chipped, cracked or discoloured teeth. They can also reduce unwanted spacing and change the size of your teeth.
Dental veneers can help to give you a brighter, healthier-looking smile that can last for many years if cared for properly.
