Veneers
What is a Dental Veneer?
Veneers are thin, durable pieces of porcelain that are custom-designed in a dental lab to match the shape and colour of your teeth.
At Centre Dentaire Ricard & Tran, our dentists use veneers to create more uniform smiles. Your dentist attaches the restoration to the front of your natural tooth to change the symmetry, shape or colour of your smile.
How Veneers Work
Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth which will be used to design custom veneers. Once the veneers are made, they will be bonded to the front of your natural teeth.
Veneers are made from thin but durable pieces of porcelain, a material that mimics the natural translucency of tooth enamel and provides patients with a very natural look and feel.
Features of Veneers
If you are looking to alter the shape of individual teeth or the evenness of your whole smile, you may want to consider dental veneers as a less intrusive alternative to dental crowns.
Dental veneers can be used on worn, crooked, or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to reduce uneven spacing or change the size of your teeth.
If properly cared for, veneers can last for many years.
