Your Trusted Downtown Calgary Choice for Porcelain Veneers!
If you are dealing with tooth discolouration, cracks, chips or gaps between teeth, porcelain veneers might be the perfect solution for you. Dental at the Bow is pleased to offer porcelain veneers as an effective cosmetic dentistry treatment to help restore your teeth and give you bright and confident smile you desire.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers not only protect your teeth from further damage, but also help improve the overall appearance of your smile by covering things like chips, stains, discolouration and uneven surfaces. With their natural look and feel, porcelain veneers seamlessly blend in with your existing teeth for a subtle and natural result!
What is the Process of Applying Porcelain Veneers?
The process begins with an initial consultation to assess your gums and teeth to determine if you are a good candidate for receiving veneers. If it is determined you are a candidate, you and your dentist will discuss the desired shade and shape of the veneers. Next, a very thin layer of your natural tooth enamel, usually less than a millimeter, is removed from the front surface of your teeth in order to create space for the veneers. Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create a mold for the custom veneers. While you wait for your permanent veneers to be crafted (which could take a few weeks), your dentist will place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth. Once your veneers are ready, the temporary veneers will be removed. Before securing the permanent veneers, they will be checked to ensure that the fit and colour are just right. Your teeth will then be cleaned, polished and etched to ensure a strong bond. A special cement will be applied to the veneers, and they will be carefully placed on the teeth. An LED light will then be used to harden the cement and finish the bonding process. Any excess cement will be removed, and your bite will be checked and adjusted as required. With proper care, porcelain veneers are durable and long lasting and can last for years. Let Dental at the Bow help you maintain a radiant and natural appearance with porcelain veneers!
