Dental veneers cover discolored teeth, uneven teeth, or crooked teeth, while looking just like real teeth.
Porcelain dental veneers are made from a very thin layer of porcelain that is only about 0.55 mm thick. Porcelain veneers are translucent, much like your natural teeth. The tooth enamel needs to be prepared first. This involves trimming a tiny amount of tooth enamel down so the porcelain veneer can be properly bonded to the tooth surface; this does not impact the tooth structure. This is a permanent decision since once the enamel is shaved down, it cannot be restored.
An impression is made of your teeth, and a custom set of porcelain veneers are made for you. Temporary veneers will be given to you, to last you until your permanent veneers are ready. For composite resin veneers, a composite material, composed of resin and other tooth-colored materials, is applied immediately after the tooth has been prepared.
When your permanent veneers are ready, they are checked to ensure they are the right size and colour to match your natural teeth before being permanently bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Following the proper dental hygiene care at home, dental veneers can last upwards of 15 to 20 years before needing a touch-up. And yes, you can have multiple veneers. Typically, many patients request six to eight to improve the appearance of their front teeth.

If you’re searching for cosmetic dentistry services, including porcelain dental veneers, in Toronto but have certain habits like grinding or clenching your teeth at night, not maintaining the proper dental hygiene, or have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, then porcelain veneers may not be the right solution for you.
For some patients, composite veneers are a better treatment. Just like porcelain veneers, composite veneers are attached to your natural tooth after it’s been prepared, but the preparation required is minimal. The composite resin material, which is also what’s used to fill in a tooth after having a cavity removed, may not last as long as porcelain veneers but can be repaired more easily if you tend to grind your teeth.
Patients with other dental problems may need these to be treated before beginning any veneer procedures. Dental veneers are not right for everyone. We will discuss with you whether another treatment may be better for you than a veneer treatment.

We understand that patients may be nervous about visiting the dentist regardless of the procedure they’re having done, but that’s why we’re proud to offer our patients the chance to opt for sedation dentistry. Dentophobia is very common in patients of all ages, and it can be intimidating and stressful visiting a dentist office! But we’re here to help take care of you no matter what.
When you contact us today about receiving porcelain veneers or composite veneers, let us know you’re interested in sedation options, and we’ll go over how it works and what you can expect.
We use nitrous oxide as a way to relax our patients who are nervous about receiving dental veneers during a veneer procedure or another treatment. It’s a safe way to calm your nerves. A mask will be placed over your mouth and nose and you should start to feel calmer almost instantly. Nitrous oxide is also referred to as laughing gas because you may find yourself feeling rather giddy and happy, but you’ll still be able to respond to our questions. After your veneers are placed and your appointment has come to an end, we’ll remove the mask and you’ll feel back to normal in no time and be able to drive yourself home.
Some people worry that dental veneers ruin their real teeth, because of the enamel removal process, but the dental veneer procedure does not damage healthy teeth. Only a very thin amount of the outer surface of your teeth is removed; the amount of enamel removed is very slight, so it will not impact healthy teeth structures.
Composite and porcelain veneers offer some excellent benefits. In fact, the benefits of these thin shells of porcelain are endless. So, if you’re contemplating getting a dental veneer for one tooth or more, our Toronto dentist, Dr. Friedman, and his team are excited to be able to help. We will thoroughly explain the process, as well as the advantages and considerations associated with veneers.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are a popular choice for addressing various dental issues like discoloration, chips, or gaps. Veneers can enhance your smile’s appearance, providing a natural, healthy look.
Typically, veneers can last for many years with proper care. They require the same maintenance as your natural teeth, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. We recommend avoiding habits that could damage veneers, such as biting hard objects or using your teeth to open packaging.
Veneers are a versatile solution but may not be suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates for veneers have healthy teeth and gums but may wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile. Our team can assess your dental health and discuss if veneers are the right choice for you.
The process typically involves an initial consultation, where we discuss your goals and evaluate your suitability for veneers. If you decide to proceed, we prepare your teeth and take impressions to create your custom veneers. Once ready, we securely attach the veneers to your teeth, instantly enhancing your smile.
