Porcelain Veneers in NE Calgary

Porcelain veneers are custom, thin shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They cover the surface of the tooth to change its colour, shape or look.

• Discolouration that does not respond well to whitening
• Chipped teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Teeth that are slightly misaligned

Placing porcelain veneers typically takes two visits.

1. First visit. Your dentist examines your teeth, talks with you about the look you want and prepares your teeth. We take impressions so your veneers are made to fit.
2. Between visits. Your custom veneers are made.
3. Second visit. Your dentist checks the fit and look of your veneers and bonds them to your teeth.

Veneers are a long-term cosmetic change, so your dentist will make sure your teeth and gums are healthy first. For lighter stains, teeth whitening may be enough. For a small chip, cosmetic bonding may be a simpler choice. If your main concern is crooked teeth, ask about Invisalign. Learn more about Teeth Whitening, Cosmetic Bonding and Invisalign.

Brush twice a day, floss daily and keep up with regular exams and cleanings. Ask your dentist whether you should avoid biting very hard objects, and whether a night guard might protect your veneers if you grind your teeth.

We offer direct billing to insurance. Cosmetic treatment is often not covered by insurance, so please confirm your coverage with our office before your visit.
