Porcelain Veneers are ultra-thin layers of tooth-sized covers composed of porcelain or composite resin that is permanently bonded to the front of your tooth. Veneers can work wonders for any teeth that require cosmetic correction. For example, if you have any teeth that are deformed, damaged, smaller, or shorter than you like or an unsightly gap, veneers might help you achieve the perfect smile.

What Porcelain Veneers Can Be Used to Address:
Wear and Tear:As we age, our teeth experience wear and tear and the enamel often look tired and worn. Some types of tooth enamel can wear out faster due to a genetic predisposition or consumption of certain types of medication. Veneers can breathe life into your smile and help you appear more youthful and radiant.
Uneven Teeth: Teeth can appear uneven due to gnashing, grinding, or biting. Porcelain veneers are an ideal solution to correct uneven teeth.
Teeth Discolouration: Stubborn stains and tooth discoloration may not be entirely treatable with a teeth whitening treatment. In such cases, veneers can be a superior alternative.

The Porcelain Veneer Process
Initial Examination and Consultation
Veneers are a long-term investment. With proper care, they can last years before requiring a replacement. Embrace your smile with confidence. The first step is to book a consultation so our team can discuss your teeth and hear about any insecurities you might have. We are here to listen to your needs and explain the options so you can make an informed decision about your cosmetic care.
Preparation
We will perform a complete oral examination, including photographs, viewing of your gums and bite, scans, and x-rays. After we develop a plan, we will send your photos and impressions to our lab partner to create a model of your veneers.
Veneer Placement
If you are satisfied with the appearance of your preliminary veneer mock-ups, we will go ahead to prepare your tooth or teeth for treatment. Dr. Dimitrov will remove a small layer of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. Then, we take new impressions and place temporary dental veneers on the prepared teeth.
Follow-Up
After your permanent veneers are ready, you return to the office for your placement. Dr. Dimitrov will remove the temporaries and place a bonding agent and cement on your teeth. After, we attach the veneers and harden the adhesive under a special light.

How to Care for Porcelain Veneers
Practice Good Hygiene – Similar to natural teeth, your porcelain veneers should be brushed twice and flossed daily. Proper dental hygiene helps protect against problems such as gum disease and tooth decay. Make sure you see your dentist for regular check-ups to prevent and avoid serious problems.
Stop Certain Habits – Putting your dental veneers under excess pressure can lead to fractures or chips in the porcelain. Try to avoid biting your fingernails, chewing on ice and opening packages with your teeth, as these actions can stress your veneers unnecessarily.
Avoid Discolouration – Porcelain is stain-resistant, but your natural enamel is not. Avoid black tea, coffee, red wine, or tobacco, which can stain your teeth and make your veneers look out of place. Whitening treatments can brighten your enamel and achieve colour consistency.
Avoid Grinding and Clenching Teeth – You must avoid grindning or clenching your teeth as it can waear down your veneers and cause damage to porcelain. Dr. Dimitrov can talk about treatment options that can help you prevent this habit from occurring.
