What are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin, bonded securely to the front surfaces of your teeth. Designed individually for each patient, veneers dramatically improve your smile’s appearance by masking imperfections, correcting alignment, and creating uniformity and brightness. At Dentistry@Kanata, we use custom-crafted porcelain veneers to correct a variety of cosmetic concerns, including chipped, stained, discolored or misaligned teeth. The result is a stunning, natural-looking smile you’ll love showing off.

When Do We Recommend Veneers?

Veneers are ideal if you have:

• Discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
• Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
• Minor misalignment or gaps between teeth
• Unevenly shaped or sized teeth

If you're unhappy with your smile or often find yourself hiding your teeth, veneers may be the right option to help restore your confidence. We highly recommend booking a consultation to see if they’re a good fit for you. During your visit, our dentists will assess your smile goals, oral health, and teeth condition to determine the most suitable approach for your needs.

Our Detailed Veneer Placement Process:

1. Consultation & Smile Design

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss your cosmetic goals. We carefully analyze your smile, teeth, and facial features to determine if you would be an ideal candidate for veneer treatment.

Following this, a new smile is custom designed to complement your natural beauty.

2. Preparation & Impressions

We minimally reshape the front surfaces of your teeth to accommodate the veneers precisely. Next, we take detailed impressions or digital scans to design your smile and create your custom veneers.

3. Veneer Creation & Temporary Veneers

A dental lab crafts your porcelain veneers to exact specifications. While you wait for these, temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth, ensuring you remain comfortable and continue to smile confident.

4. Final Placement & Bonding

On your return visit, we carefully position your custom veneers, adjusting fit, bite, and aesthetics. Once perfect, the pre-polished and sparkling veneers are permanently bonded, resulting in a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

Porcelain veneers offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for a brighter, more attractive smile. Book your consultation today to see if they’re right for you!
