Veneers, porcelain or composite, are placed over the front teeth to change their colour and shape. Veneers are ideal for teeth that are too small, too big, or have uneven surfaces. It is very common for people to have imperfect teeth, either oddly shaped teeth, chipped teeth, crooked teeth, teeth with small holes in them, or an inappropriate sized tooth or teeth that have an odd appearance. Veneers solve such irregularities and create a durable and pleasing smile.

Veneers are created from an impression taken in your cosmetic dentist's office. Your custom veneer is then cemented directly onto your tooth. Veneers won't stain making them a very popular solution for people seeking that strong white smile. Strong and very durable veneers can last from ten to fifteen years with regular check ups.

It takes roughly a week or two of minor adjustment to get used to teeth that have been changed in colour, size, spacing, and shape. Unlike Porcelain Crowns very little tooth body is removed in the preparation for Veneers. There are certain situations where preparing veneers will require more tooth body than normal and this can increase the risk of trauma to the tooth. The amount of tooth to be removed for the veneers should always be discussed with your cosmetic dentist beforehand.

It is common to have minor sensitivity after your teeth have been prepared for your veneers, and some patients can temporarily experience a difficulty pronouncing "s" and "f" sounds. Veneers are very reasonable facsimiles of natural teeth, but not perfect replacements for natural teeth. As with natural teeth It's common to see slight variations in the colour of veneers upon very close inspection.

If you suffer from bruxism, (night grinding), clenching or grinding of your teeth, then your veneers can become damaged, chipped or cracked. Speak to us about wearing a mouth guard at night to protect your new smile.
