What is a Dental Veneer?
Dental veneers are thin, durable shells that are placed on the front surfaces of teeth to change their appearance.
Each veneer is custom-made to match the shape, size, and colour you want, so your smile looks natural and balanced. They are a popular choice for patients who want to brighten discoloured teeth, correct small chips, or create a more uniform-looking smile.
By bonding these custom-made shells to your teeth, we can help you achieve a more symmetrical, polished, and confident smile that still feels like your own, while preserving your natural teeth.
At Magrath Dental, our dentists work closely with you to design veneers that complement your smile and your facial features.
Benefits of Veneers
Veneers are a versatile way to enhance your smile while preserving your natural teeth. They can help improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, chipped, worn, or slightly misaligned, creating a more uniform and polished look.
Because they are custom-made to match the shape, size, and colour of your existing teeth, veneers blend seamlessly with your smile.
Veneers are also durable and resistant to staining, which can help your smile stay bright. Many patients find that veneers enhance the look of their teeth and help them feel more comfortable showing their smile.
What to Expect When Getting Veneers
Your veneer treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and review the shape, size, and shade options that best suit your smile.
To prepare your teeth, your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel so the veneers can fit comfortably and look natural. Impressions are then taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are fabricated.
Once the veneers are ready, your dentist will place them, assess the fit, and make any necessary adjustments before bonding them in place. You will also receive instructions on caring for your veneers to help support their longevity and maintain your oral health.
