Veneers

Who Are Good Candidates for Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance by addressing visible imperfections. Ideal candidates typically include people who:

• Have strong enamel: Adequate tooth enamel is required for bonding the veneer securely.
• Desire correction of cosmetic issues: Including discoloration, uneven spacing, chips, or minor misalignment.
• Maintain good oral hygiene: Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups support long-term oral health.
• Do not have severe dental decay or gum disease: Any underlying dental conditions should be addressed prior to veneer placement.

We aim to assess each patient individually in St. Albert to ensure the veneers are appropriate and beneficial for their specific dental needs.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers provide a variety of functional and aesthetic advantages, including:

• Improved appearance: Corrects visible imperfections in tooth shape, size, and colour.
• Stain resistance: Porcelain material is resistant to coffee, tea, and other staining agents.
• Durability: Veneers can last 10–15 years with proper care.
• Natural look: Veneers mimic the translucency and colour of natural teeth.
• Minimally invasive: Requires limited removal of natural tooth structure compared to crowns.

We strive to provide options that address both cosmetic dentistry and functional aspects of teeth while maintaining overall oral health.

General Process and Procedure for Veneers

The veneer procedure typically involves multiple steps to ensure optimal fit and appearance. The process is as follows:

• Consultation: Assessment of dental health, discussion of goals, and selection of shade and shape.
• Tooth preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer. A local anesthetic may be used.
• Impression taking: Moulds of prepared teeth are sent to a dental lab for custom fabrication.
• Veneer bonding: Teeth are cleaned, polished, and etched before veneers are bonded with dental cement and cured for durability.
• Final adjustments: Bite and alignment are checked, with minor adjustments made as needed. 

We aim to ensure that the procedure is efficient, precise, and produces results that integrate seamlessly with natural teeth.
