Rejuvenate Your Smile With Dental Veneers

If you’re looking to update or rejuvenate the look of your smile, call Bloor Dental Clinic in Toronto today to discuss whether dental veneers may be right for you!

What are veneers made from and how are they placed?

Dental veneers are thin shells, typically made of porcelain material, that fit over the teeth to mask imperfections. To prepare for their placement, our dentist will need to remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth/teeth to keep your final veneers firmly in place. Next, a mold will be taken of your teeth and an impression will be sent to a dental laboratory.

When your completed veneers arrive at our office, we’ll schedule an appointment to place them on your prepared teeth with a special resin. Once applied and positioned properly, we’ll use ultraviolet light to harden and secure the bond.

Who is an ideal candidate for dental veneers?

Veneers can be an excellent solution for patients who want to correct minor cosmetic issues or rejuvenate their smile. It’s important to note that candidates for veneers should have healthy teeth and gums, as well as good oral hygiene habits.

How long do veneers typically last and how should they be cared for?

When properly maintained, veneers can last up to 15 years. To ensure they stay in good condition, there are certain precautions that should be taken: practice proper oral hygiene habits such as twice daily brushing and flossing; attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings; avoid biting on hard objects or chewing ice cubes; and limit your intake of highly pigmented and acidic foods.
