Dental Veneers

Dental veneers offer an effective solution to improve the visual appearance of your teeth, enabling you to achieve a more desirable or ideal smile. If you suffer from heavily stained teeth, gaps in between your teeth, or severely damaged teeth, then your Saint John dentist can offer veneers as a restorative treatment that can assist you in achieving a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

What are Veneers?

Porcelain or composite resin based dental veneers are often a more preferred option for hiding unwanted defects, because they are tooth coloured and match the visual appearance of your natural teeth. Dental veneers are essentially thin shells that are often made up of a variety of materials, that are custom made to appropriately and accurately fit the contours of your teeth and mouth. Veneers are also bonded to your existing tooth enamel to keep them secured and in place.

What's Involved in the Procedure?

Once your Saint John dentist has determined that dental veneers are an appropriate option, the next steps will involve planning, preparation, and a final bonding process. During the planning stage, patients are encouraged to participate in the design of their veneers to achieve a more custom and desirable fit. Once your teeth have been adequately and appropriately prepared, the bonding and sculpting process will be performed by your dentist in Saint John. A custom mould will then be created and temporary veneers will be provided. When the permanent veneers are completed, they are then bonded to your existing teeth either through cementation or by using a specialized light.
