Most adults with good oral health can be good candidates for dental veneers. A thorough dental exam and consultation are conducted to help us understand your particular concerns, expectations, and desired outcome. The initial visit with our Orangeville porcelain veneer specialist also helps us determine if your tooth or teeth are in good condition to support your new veneers for the maximum length of time. Porcelain veneers are suitable for a wide range of patients, including smokers, coffee lovers, and wine connoisseurs.

Porcelain veneer application is one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry today. This is due to benefits such as:

• Convenience – Porcelain veneer treatment requires two to three visits to be completed.
• Long-lasting – With good care, our Orangeville porcelain veneers can last 15 years or more.
• Cost-effective – The results of porcelain veneer treatment last longer than teeth whitening, and veneers are less costly than braces to correct minor alignment issues.
• Stain-resistance – Porcelain is a nonporous material, so it is actually more stain resistant than natural teeth.

Porcelain veneers can correct subtle alignment issues, such as a protruding or turned tooth. However, the more misaligned a tooth is, the more enamel reduction it will take to create a cohesive appearance. Depending on the severity of alignment concerns, teeth-straightening treatment like Invisalign may be advisable instead of porcelain veneers.

Patients typically do not need to take special measures to prepare for the porcelain veneer procedure at our Orangeville dental clinic. If dental problems like cavities or gingivitis are found during our initial consultation, we may schedule restorative care, such as root canal therapy, prior to beginning your cosmetic dental treatment. A professional cleaning may also be scheduled ahead of the porcelain veneer treatment. This removes superficial debris from enamel to prepare for a slight reduction once treatment begins.

 There is no downtime after your porcelain veneers have been placed. You can return to normal activities right away but may wish to avoid biting into hard foods for a day or two. You can regularly visit our porcelain veneer dentist in Orangeville to ensure nothing is wrong with your teeth and oral health. 

Porcelain veneers require very little in the way of special care. Patients are encouraged to brush their teeth twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste. Flossing is necessary to prevent debris accumulation at the edges of each porcelain veneer. While our porcelain teeth veneers in Orangeville are extremely durable, the bond between a veneer and a natural tooth does not have indestructible tensile strength. Tensile strength is the durability of the bond when twisted. To preserve the integrity of veneers, it is advisable to avoid biting on hard objects or biting and twisting, such as biting a chewy candy bar.

Your smile says a lot about you. We understand the crucial role that teeth play in the overall appearance of your smile and face and are pleased to offer treatments like Porcelain dental veneers to correct flaws that may be aging or degrading your smile.
