Our dentists at Border Country Dental offer dental veneers to correct imperfections, improve minor misalignments, and brighten smiles.
Enhance Your Smile
Veneers are very thin and made up of porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin, custom-made to enhance the shape and colour of treated teeth, while naturally blending with the surrounding teeth.
They are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth and can even be used to correct the appearance of tooth misalignments for a straighter, more uniform finish. They can also offer a durable solution for cracked, chipped, and stained teeth; they are resistant to permanent staining from food, beverages, and other daily habits that may typically cause staining.
If you have had teeth whitening treatment and stains have been resistant, veneers can be a viable option to cover them and help improve the appearance, while giving a brighter smile.
The Dental Veneer Procedure
Improving the shape and look of your teeth can be achieved through a straightforward dental veneer procedure, which generally requires minimal to no anaesthesia.
To begin, the dentist will capture a 3D scan of the tooth surface. The images produced will be used to develop a virtual model of the tooth for your custom porcelain veneer.
You will typically need to return for another visit once the custom veneers are ready. The veneers will be bonded to the front of each tooth; a small amount of enamel is commonly removed to help the veneer bond to the tooth.
The Results of Veneers
The results offer a natural, balanced, and tailored approach to your unique smile. As veneers are customized for each patient, the final results may be very subtle or dramatic, depending on your goals.
The end goal is often to achieve a more confident smile that still feels and visually looks authentic and natural.
With proper oral hygiene, regular dental exams, and professional cleanings, veneers can last for many years, in some instances, a lifetime. Making them a long-lasting investment in your smile.
