What are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are pieces of thin but durable tooth-shaped porcelain used by our dental professionals to provide patients with a more uniform smile. They are custom-made in a dental laboratory to seamlessly match the shape and colour of your teeth.
At Uptown Dentistry, our dental team bonds the restoration to the front of your natural tooth to alter the symmetry, shape or colour of your smile.
Our dental team is passionate about helping our patients achieve beautiful smiles. Veneers are just one of the cosmetic dental services we offer, with teeth whitening and dental bonding also being available at our clinic.How Veneers Work
Your dentist will prepare your veneers by taking an impression of your teeth using digital technology. This allows them to make custom designs for each patient's unique smile. After testing the fit and making any necessary adjustments, the veneers will be bonded to the front of your natural teeth using an adhesive.
Made from a razor-thin piece of porcelain, veneers are custom-shaped to match the form and colour of your tooth. The porcelain material imitates the natural translucency of tooth enamel and has a very natural look and feel.
Veneer Features
If you wish to modify the shape of individual teeth or the symmetry of your overall smile, you may wish to consider dental veneers as a less-intrusive alternative to dental crowns.
Dental veneers can help rectify a number of cosmetic dental issues, including crooked, worn, or discoloured teeth. They can also reduce undesired spacing between teeth and alter the size of your teeth.
If properly maintained, dental veneers have been known to last for many years.
