Dental Veneers in Parksville
At Arrowsmith Dental Group in Parksville, our dentists may recommend porcelain veneers as a treatment option to help correct discoloured, chipped, misaligned or gapped teeth.
What is a Dental Veneer?
Dental veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-made to match the shape and colour of your teeth by a dental laboratory.
At Arrowsmith Dental Group, our dentists use veneers to create a more uniform smile for our patients. Your dentist bonds the restoration to the front of your natural tooth to help improve the symmetry, shape or colour of your smile.
How Dental Veneers Work?
Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth which will be used to create your custom veneers.
Once your veneers have been made, they will be bonded to the fronts of your natural teeth.
Made from a very thin piece of porcelain, veneers are custom-shaped to match your tooth. The porcelain is designed to imitate the natural translucency of tooth enamel and has a very natural look and feel.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
If you are looking to change the shape of individual teeth or the evenness of your whole smile, you may want to consider dental veneers.
Conditions that dental veneers can resolve include worn, crooked, or discoloured teeth. They can also reduce unwanted spacing and change the size of your teeth.
Dental veneers can last for many years if cared for properly.
