Porcelain Veneers
Where Your Smile Begins
Calgary, Alberta
Have you always wanted an even, straight smile, but put the thought out of your mind based on unwillingness to wear braces? Good alignment is crucial in achieving a beautiful, balanced smile, but thanks to porcelain veneers, braces are not the only option any more.
Veneers are extremely thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. When performed by a highly-qualified cosmetic dentist, veneers are indistinguishable from natural teeth. At our Calgary cosmetic dentistry practice, we use Empress porcelain veneers as we regard them as superior to brands like Lumineers. Their quality is exceptionally high.
“I never really liked my smile before Dr. Cload transformed me. My short gappy teeth were replaced with an incredible new smile that I very proudly display every day.” – Mike
Porcelain veneers can correct many dental defects including:
- Discoloration that resists tooth whitening
- Mismatched shapes
- Slight crookedness
- Small chips
- Superficial but visible tooth cracks
- Smile gaps
For many patients, porcelain veneers are the ideal straightening solution — there are no brackets, no long treatment times, and no soreness due to gradually moving teeth. They are sometimes referred to as “instant orthodontics”. Getting a straight smile in as little as two visits is possible.
Durable and Attractive
Veneers are not only effective in solving the above smile problems; they are also extremely strong and natural-looking. They are securely bonded to the tooth faces, so they feel natural, too.
The Procedure
During the first visit, Dr. Cload will go over the procedure steps and answer your questions. You will talk about smile design and discuss your desired results. You will also schedule your next visit.
During the second visit, Dr. Cload will take digital photos of your teeth. Your teeth will be prepared to receive the veneers, more digital photos and a bite impression will be taken and sent along with other information to our lab for design and fabrication. You will be fitted with temporary veneers to wear while your final veneers are being constructed.
During your third visit, your new veneers are precisely positioned and bonded in place. Fine adjustments to color matching can be made at this stage so your veneers will look natural and normal in your mouth.
Your veneers will be stain-resistant and strong. Empress veneers are known to be even more translucent than other brands, producing effects that are as dazzling as they are natural-looking.
