Veneers are a wonderful way to easily repair broken, misaligned, chipped or worn teeth. The treatment is simple and definitely helps bring out the best in your smile. They are made from wafer-thin porcelain that bonds to the front of your tooth, similar to the way you might apply a false fingernail.
They can be placed on a single tooth, or multiple teeth, to add a uniform shape, symmetry and colour to your smile, and are great at hiding small imperfections like stained, chipped or crooked teeth.
Once you have decided that veneers are the right choice for you, we will make a digital impression of your mouth and measure the shade of your teeth so we can match your new veneer to your natural tooth colour.
Once your new veneer is ready, we remove a very thin layer of enamel before bonding them onto your teeth.
Most likely, yes! Veneers are a good match for almost anyone. However, if you have any untreated tooth decay, gum disease, acid erosion or you grind your teeth, veneers may not be the best option for you. Your Cherryvalley dentist will be glad to discuss all your restorative options.
When veneers are applied properly and professionally, and are well cared for through good oral hygiene and diet, they should last a very long time.
However, over time veneers can break, wear or fracture just like natural teeth. And if you consume lots of sweets, fizzy drinks or other sugary treats, your tooth can still decay and your veneer may need to be replaced.
At Cherryvalley Dental Care we use the most up-to-date techniques and procedures to create veneers that best match your tooth colour as closely as possible to give you the most natural looking teeth and the brightest smile we can!
