Dental Veneers

What are dental veneers used for?

Dental veneers are used to create a more beautiful, harmonious smile, while correcting certain minor aesthetic defects in the teeth. They are thin, sculpted pieces of porcelain that are attached to the front of the teeth. In cosmetic dentistry, they are the optimal standard of treatment, because they are versatile and thin, while mimicking natural teeth.

What problems can dental veneers solve?

Dental veneers are a dental solution commonly used to solve many aesthetic and functional problems. Here are the main dental problems that dental veneers can help solve:

1. Stained or discolored teeth: Veneers are often used to improve the appearance of teeth that have been stained by food, drink, smoking or medication. They are an alternative when tooth whitening is not effective.
2. Worn teeth: With age, or due to habits such as teeth grinding, teeth can become worn. Veneers can restore their original appearance.
3. Broken or chipped teeth: Veneers can be used to repair teeth that have been physically damaged, covering breaks or chips.
4. Teeth misaligned, uneven or with abnormal spacing: For teeth that are slightly misaligned, uneven or have interdental spaces (diastemas), veneers can offer a quick and aesthetic alternative to orthodontics.
5. Inadequate tooth shape or size : Veneers can be used to modify the shape or size of teeth, particularly if they are naturally small or irregularly shaped, to create a more harmonious smile.

It’s important to note that dental veneers require the removal of a small amount of tooth enamel, making the process irreversible. It is therefore crucial to discuss with Dr. Pierre Comeau of Spa dentaire Laurier whether dental veneers are the best option for your specific situation.

What are the advantages of dental veneers?

Dental veneers really are an asset for beautifying our smile and your face. Here’s why:

1. First, they transform the appearance of your teeth. By covering the front of your teeth, veneers erase imperfections such as stains, chips, wear and misaligned teeth. It’s a bit like giving your smile a makeover.
2. Secondly, they play a key role in the aesthetics of our face. A bright, harmonious smile, thanks to perfectly aligned teeth, can really change the way our face is perceived. It’s amazing how a beautiful smile can brighten up a whole face!
3. The great thing about veneers is that they’re completely customizable. You can choose their shape, size, color and even texture, so that they blend perfectly with your facial features. Made-to-measure!
4. They’re also extremely durable. Made from sturdy materials like porcelain, they don’t stain easily and can last for many years. A lasting investment for an ever-glowing smile!
5. And best of all: unlike other, heavier dental treatments, veneers are minimally invasive. They require minimal modification of our natural teeth, which is a big plus.
