Veneers can transform the look of your smile in just two visits \u2014 but understanding the process helps you feel confident every step of the way.<\/p>\n
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to correct shape, colour, or size. They’re a popular choice for patients who want a natural-looking, long-lasting cosmetic result without more invasive treatment.<\/p>\n
The process starts with a consultation where your dentist evaluates your teeth, discusses your goals, and reviews whether veneers are the right fit. Digital imaging can give you a preview of your expected results before any work begins.<\/p>\n
At your preparation appointment, a small amount of enamel is gently removed to ensure the veneers sit flush with surrounding teeth. Impressions are taken and temporary veneers are placed while your custom porcelain shells are crafted.<\/p>\n
At your final visit, the temporaries are removed, fit and colour are confirmed, and the permanent veneers are bonded in place. With proper care, quality veneers can last 10\u201315 years or more. Avoiding habits like biting fingernails or chewing ice will extend their lifespan significantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
