What is a Dental Veneer?
Veneers are thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped material that are custom-made to match the desired shape and colour of your teeth by a dental laboratory.
At Shelburne Smile Centre, our dentists use veneers to create a more uniform smile for our patients. Your dentist bonds the veneer to the front of your natural tooth to change the symmetry, shape or colour of your smile.
How Veneers Work
Your dentist may need to modify the shape of your teeth to prepare them for veneers. Then, they will take an impression of your teeth, which will be used to create your custom veneers.
Once your veneers have been made, they will be bonded to the fronts of your natural teeth.
Veneers are custom-shaped to match your tooth. The veneer material imitates the natural translucency of tooth enamel and has a very natural look and feel.
Features of Veneers
If you are looking to alter the shape of individual teeth or the evenness of your whole smile, you may want to consider dental veneers as a less intrusive alternative to dental crowns.
Conditions that dental veneers can help to resolve include worn, crooked, or discoloured teeth. They can also reduce unwanted spacing and change the size of your teeth.
Dental veneers can last for many years if cared for properly.
