Porcelain Veneers in Downtown Toronto

With the arrival of new materials that allow to produce thinner but still very durable covers for teeth, the Veneer became available. It is a perfect simple solution for patients who want their teeth to look better and cover stained or uneven teeth, much like you would with an artificial fingernail.

Veneers do exactly that. Unlike a crown which goes onto a tooth or a filling that goes into a tooth, the veneer is a thin, custom made covering that goes onto the front of the tooth only. They are made of thin porcelain and are applied to the front with special adhesive, creating a radiant smile with a minimal amount of effort and at a very modest cost.

Despite the fact that veneers are very thin, they are still strong and durable, usually lasting for a minimum of five and all the way to 12 years on some patients.

The list of conditions that veneers can serve as a cosmetic solution for is fairly long:

• Broken, Chipped or Cracked Teeth
• Diastemas, or Gaps Between the Teeth
• Permanently Stained or Discolored Teeth
• Unsightly, Stained or Washed out Fillings
• Teeth that are Misshapen or Crooked

The main benefit of using veneers is that the changes that need to be made to the teeth for this application are minimal and carry little or no discomfort. There are cases, however, when veneers are not advisable or are better substituted with another solution, such as crowns, bonding, bleaching, micro abrasion, or orthodontics, depending on the specifics of the situation.

This can all be determined in a full dental evaluation, of course. One of our professionals will assess your health and cosmetic appearance and advise you on the best available options. For a free consultation, call Library District Dental now and you will be on your way to a radiant smile.
