Dental Veneers in Burnaby

Veneers

Dental veneers are customized shells that fit over the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. Used on the front teeth, these shells can be bonded directly to the teeth, giving a natural, even look to the smile. Once they are applied, veneers are more resistant to staining, can be cared for easily with at-home tools and techniques, and can last 10 to 15 years with good dental care.

Who Can Get Veneers?

Veneers are a versatile treatment that can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues. Many people choose veneers as a solution for:

• Stained or discoloured teeth
• Misshapen teeth (especially teeth which are too small)
• Unevenly spaced teeth
• Chipped or broken teeth

How Veneers Are Applied

Veneers can be created in several ways, and the method and materials your dentist chooses will depend on your goals and the current condition of your teeth. Your veneers will be custom-made for your teeth. Before being applied, some of your natural tooth material will be removed to ensure the veneers can fit flat against the teeth to achieve a realistic look. Once secured in place, you’ll be able to eat and chew normally.
