Learning about Dental Veneers

If you are self-conscious about showing your teeth, talking to your friends or smiling at your loved ones, then you may be interested in some help from cosmetic dentistry. From gaps, cracks, discolouration and chips, to other oral concerns that affect the way you smile and talk, we can help with the aid of cosmetic dentistry at The Dental Room.

One of the cosmetic dental treatments we offer is a dental veneers application. It is an effective treatment that solves gap problems and can change the size, colour, appearance and shape of your teeth. According to the Canadian Dental Association, veneers are usually made of porcelain and a composite resin. They are thin layers of materials that are placed over your teeth to hide their flaws. These thin layers are typically bonded to your teeth by your dentist and would require at least three visits. The first visit will be for your initial consultation to assess if you have gaps, chipped or discoloured teeth that would require a veneer application. The second dental visit will be to create the veneers. The last visit is for applying the veneers to your teeth.

Veneers are considered an excellent treatment to replace damaged enamel caused by erosion and abrasion. Veneers are also considered to be stain resistant and can last for about 7 to 15 years. Many patients and practitioners love veneers because they are strong and provide a natural tooth appearance. Often they are preferred over dental crowns, depending on the situation.
