Veneers provide many benefits, including:
A veneer is a very thin shell of porcelain bonded to the front of teeth in order to improve its look. It’s important to think carefully before getting custom veneers as the process involves altering your natural teeth permanently. Basically, when we provide veneers in Edmonton, our general dentist removes the outer edge of the enamel and replaces it with the permanent veneer.
For anyone who wants to consider improving their image with porcelain veneers, we have provided frequently asked questions and answers to offer more information about these restorations. If you want to discuss your options, call your general dentist and schedule a consultation appointment.
We can’t give you an estimate on the price because each set of veneers is specifically designed for that individual patient. During your consultation appointment, the general dentist will discuss your visions, evaluate your mouth, and create a complete plan for updating your smile. At that time, we will review costs and payment options.
If you choose custom veneers, the restorations are permanent because your doctor will remove a thin layer of enamel to prepare your teeth for the porcelain veneers. Little or no-prep options like Lumineers® do allow patients the flexibility of returning to their original smiles. However, Lumineers® don’t work in all cases, so you will need a consultation and exam to determine the best option for your smile.
In some cases, professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile and revive your appearance. When you have gaps, permanent stains, or chips, bleaching your teeth won’t address the issues. Porcelain veneers literally cover the teeth and create a straight, attractive smile.
Most of the time, patients complete the whole process in four to six weeks. During this time, you will have an initial exam, take impressions for the veneers, and return for final placement.
