Veneers are paper- thin, custom-made coverings that conceal the front and side of your tooth, much like a mask or an artificial fingernail. If your teeth are stained, broken or shaped in a way that is not pleasing to you, then you may want to consider veneers to beautify your smile. Veneers are most often custom made from porcelain and fit precisely over your existing teeth and are held in place by a special light sensitive resin which adheres the back of the veneer to the prepared tooth.
Even though veneers are thin coverings, they are extremely strong and durable and will generally not need to be replaced for 4 to 12 years. While they are not suitable for every patient, veneers are a cosmetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions.
Placing veneers provides major changes in teeth without the requirement of cutting them down severely. A healthy “natural” look is achieved with little or no discomfort. However, depending on the situation, crowns, bonding, bleaching, micro abrasion, or orthodontics may be suggested instead of veneers. A thorough dental evaluation can help your dentist in Mississauga Churchill Glen Dental access the general health and cosmetic appearance of your teeth to determine which option is best for you
