How Porcelain Veneers Can Transform Your Smile


If you suffer from crooked, cracked, or permanently stained teeth, you’re probably familiar with the embarrassment that comes with showing your smile to others. You might have tried tooth whitening treatments, only to discover they had no effect on certain teeth. If you have misaligned teeth, you also might be hesitant to invest the time and effort required to correct them with braces.

The good news is that porcelain veneers can effectively address each of these problems and dramatically change the overall look of your smile in just a few short visits. Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of ceramic dental material that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Veneers can be custom-shaped to straighten out your smile line, tinted to match the colour of your natural teeth, and even used as a splint to save cracked or weakened teeth that are in danger of extraction.

Although thin, once porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth, they become very durable. If you have teeth that are too small, or project slightly forward or backward in your mouth, our skilled cosmetic dentistry team can re-shape your teeth so that when veneers are placed, the overall arc of your smile is improved. Porcelain veneers are also stain-resistant, allowing the bright natural white of your new smile to stay intact for years to come.

If you live in the Toronto or Mississauga areas of Ontario and are interested in correcting your smile with porcelain veneers, please contact  us today to schedule a consultation. Let us help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
