Porcelain Veneers Kitchener, ON
Veneers are made of a very thin slice of porcelain, meticulously crafted to an ideal tooth form and shade matched to adjacent teeth. They are placed on only the front surface of the tooth to cover cosmetic imperfections, mask stains, close gaps, fix cracks, create uniformity, and give you a perfect, Hollywood smile.
Getting veneers is a relatively simple process. The front surface of the tooth is polished and prepped, and an impression is taken and sent to the lab. Because veneers are customized to your teeth' unique shape and shade, they blend into your smile to create natural-looking results. Once you veneers are complete, you’ll return to MI Dental to approve the look and feel before we cement them into place.
The Advantages of Veneers
While there are less expensive options for cosmetic restorations, veneers offer benefits that whitening and bonding treatments don’t.
- Veneers cover staining which whitening treatments alone can’t eliminate.
- The porcelain used is semi-translucent, like actual enamel, so the veneers will look more natural than bonding. Veneers are more stain resistant, too.
- Veneers are less vulnerable to chipping or other damage than bonding, and have a longer lifespan, typically lasting from ten to 15 years with proper care.
However, veneers aren’t for everyone. Teeth and gums must be healthy before beginning the procedure. More serious orthodontic misalignments and habitual conditions such as tooth grinding and jaw clenching make veneers impractical.
If you are looking for the absolute best smile in terms of aesthetics and form, veneers are your best option. Ask Dr. Manzoor about veneers at your next visit to our Kitchener dental office!
