Veneers | Stouffville | Shin Dentistry

Create a Straighter Smile with Veneers

Are you noticing internal tooth discolouration, a subtle misalignment in the front of your smile, or maybe a small chip in your tooth that seems to be getting more noticeable each day?

If this sounds familiar, veneers might be the answer for you. Veneers can address a range of cosmetic dental concerns using strong, natural-looking materials that support the look and function of your smile. We create your veneers in-house so you can get your new smile faster.

Another option for straighter teeth is Invisalign. Clear aligner treatment can make your veneers even more successful.Find out how veneers can help address your cosmetic dental concerns—book your appointment at Shin Dentistry in Stouffville today.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are a cosmetic dental strategy used to address several concerns you might have with your teeth, including:

Discolouration
Gaps
Crookedness
Cracks and damages

Veneers aim to restore the look of your smile, but they cannot address all dental concerns. In some cases, we may recommend a restorative dental strategy to best support your health and cosmetic goals.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Before we can recommend veneers to help address your cosmetic dental concerns, we want to ensure they’re right for you with a comprehensive dental exam. We might not recommend veneers if:

The affected teeth have little or no enamel left
Your teeth are too damaged
You grind or clench your teeth
You have cavities or gum disease

If you have gum disease or a cavity, we’ll need to address these issues before applying a veneer.

How Do You Get Veneers?

If you want to improve the colour, shape, or size of the teeth at the front of your smile, veneers can be a great way to achieve the smile you want. We’ll be happy to discuss your candidacy when you visit us for a dental exam and veneer consultation.

Here’s how the process of getting veneers at Shin Dentistry typically proceeds.

Dental Exam & Consultation

The first step in the veneer process is a dental exam to determine if you’re a candidate for veneers. To be eligible, you must have healthy teeth and gums and strong enamel.

If your teeth are too damaged or small for veneers, we might recommend a crown or bridge to help support your smile.

Scanning Your Smile

Typically, during a separate appointment, we’ll scan your smile to create impressions of your teeth. These quick scans are essential for developing your permanent veneers.

We’ll then buff and shape your teeth to remove the enamel and prepare them for your veneers.

Placing Your Veneers

During your appointment, we’ll create your custom veneers in-house. We’ll bond your permanent veneers in place, and you’ll be good to go!

Caring for Your Veneers

Permanent veneers are designed to last years—so long as they’re cared for. Regular brushing and flossing are essential for preserving your veneers, but visiting us regularly for dental exams and cleanings can help prevent cavities or other concerns.

We may need to replace a veneer if:

A cavity forms under the veneer
The bonding becomes loose
The veneer is cracked or damaged
