Veneers SW Calgary

If you have minor smile imperfections, such as a small chip on the tooth, tooth discolouration, or even a small gap between your front teeth, you may consider veneers to improve your smile.

Veneers are a popular choice for the treatment of minimal cosmetic concerns or complete smile makeovers. They are wafer-thin coverings that can be customized according to the shape, size, length, and colour you want. This creates a bespoke smile that can elevate your appearance and boost your confidence.

Read along to find out more about veneers and if they are the best treatment to help achieve your smile goals.

Why Choose Veneers?

Veneers are dental restorations made with ultra-thin shells of composite or porcelain material. They are glued on the front surface of the tooth for a natural solution to cosmetic issues such as a chipped, cracked, or worn tooth. They can also fix a tooth or teeth that are discoloured or crooked and complete smile makeovers to create a more harmonious and proportional smile.

Each smile is different, so the design process is different for every patient. This makes veneers the ideal choice if you want a personalized smile treatment. They are also a great option if you want a durable and long-lasting restoration that not only looks beautifully aesthetic but is also supportive to the tooth to prevent further damage.

You can discuss with your cosmetic team your smile goals so they can help you learn about the best veneer option for you.

Common Issues Addressed with Veneers

There are many cosmetic issues that veneers can effectively fix and improve. These include:

• Chipped or Broken Teeth
  A dental veneer can be placed over a broken tooth to cover a small chip or crack. This will help restore its appearance to improve your smile.
• Gaps Between Teeth
  Veneers can also fix tooth gaps so you do not have to go through orthodontic treatment. With the help of smile design and veneers, the size and shape of the involved tooth can be improved to cover the gap.
• Irregularly Shaped Teeth
  If you have worn down, short-looking teeth, veneers are a great choice to lengthen and repair the teeth.
• Discoloured Teeth
  Stained teeth due to aging or staining food or drinks can be restored to their pearly white brilliance using veneers. You may select your ideal shade of white to complete your new look.
• Misaligned Teeth
  Veneers can enhance the appearance of slightly crooked teeth by making them look aligned with the rest of your smile.

However, not all of these cosmetic concerns can be fixed with veneers. It is always best to discuss your options with your dentist so they can design the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Advantages of Veneers Over Other Options

There are several reasons why veneers are a better choice than other cosmetic alternatives. Such include:

• Resistant to wear and stains
  In particular, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to daily wear and tear and staining. This means that you can enjoy your favourite food and drinks without worries that your veneers will break or discolour easily.
• Natural appearance
  Porcelain veneers mimic the appearance of natural teeth. This helps with an increased confidence boost if you have always been self-conscious about your smile.
• Highly conservative
  Veneers are more tooth-friendly because they require little to no removal of tooth enamel. This is unlike dental crowns which need significant tooth reduction.
• Low-maintenance
  Lastly, veneers need no special cleaning instruments to keep them healthy and functional. Just follow your usual hygiene routine, including proper brushing and flossing, and visit your dentist twice a year for upkeep.

The Veneers Process

To give you a general idea, here’s what you can expect during your appointment for dental veneers:

Initial Consultation

A brief discussion of your dental concerns and smile needs can help our team determine if veneers are right for you.

Treatment Planning

Then, we create your personalized smile design. This stage of treatment will include deciding the ideal size, shape, length, and colour of your veneers. With smile design, we can give you a preview of your smile before we even begin treatment.

Tooth Preparation

Then, your teeth (or tooth) will be prepared to receive veneers. A thin layer of enamel will be removed so the veneers can be attached. This can be done under a small sedative to keep you comfortable.

Impression and Temporaries

Your dentist will then take a scan or putty to obtain an impression of your teeth. This will be sent to the dental laboratory to fabricate your veneers. While you wait, temporary veneers may be placed.

Veneer Placement

And once ready, each veneer will be carefully fitted, adjusted, and bonded onto your teeth to complete your brand new smile.
