Dreaming of a smile that radiates confidence? If you’re looking for a transformative solution to address dental imperfections like chips, cracks, stains, discoloration, gaps, or misshapen teeth, porcelain veneers may be the ideal choice. At Smiles at Southgate in Edmonton, we specialize in creating stunning, natural-looking smiles with custom-made porcelain veneers.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-designed shells made from high-quality ceramic. These shells are meticulously crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth, concealing imperfections and creating a more symmetrical, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The Porcelain Veneer Procedure at Smiles at Southgate
Our experienced team at Smiles at Southgate follows a personalized approach to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient. The process typically involves two appointments:
- Consultation and Planning:
- During your initial consultation, we’ll take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your desired outcome, and discuss your aesthetic goals.
- We’ll conduct a thorough oral examination to assess your overall oral health and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for veneers.
- If appropriate, we’ll gently remove a minimal amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to create space for the veneers.
- We’ll then take precise impressions of your teeth to create custom-made veneers in a dental laboratory.
- Veneer Placement:
- Once your custom-designed veneers are ready, you’ll return for your second appointment.
- We’ll carefully bond the veneers to your teeth, ensuring a precise fit and a seamless, natural-looking result.
