Dental Veneers in Scarborough
What is a Dental Veneer ?
Dental veneers are thin shells crafted from tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain or composite resin, designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They effectively improve the appearance of teeth by altering their shape, color, size, and length.
Dental Veneer Process
Getting dental veneers involves a few key steps.
- First, your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss your goals.
- Then, they’ll prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel and take impressions/ scan your teeth. Temporary veneers may be placed while your custom veneers are made.
- Once ready, the permanent veneers are bonded to your teeth.
Dr. Jan will make sure they fit well and feel comfortable, and you may have follow-up appointments to ensure everything is working as it should.
