Smile with confidence

in 3 easy steps.

Planning your treatment

Getting started is easy. The first step to getting a more radiant smile with porcelain veneers is all about figuring out the results you wish to achieve. This means we’ll schedule a visit at our Burlington location for a detailed consultation with your dentist. Your teeth will be examined to ensure that dental veneers are the correct treatment option and that the procedure is able to provide the smile you want. This might require X-rays and impressions of your teeth to be taken, but the process is straightforward and common. Your dentist will also outline the treatment and speak with you about the results you can expect.

Preparing for treatment

Our treatment for dental veneers in Burlington begins with getting your teeth prepared to accept a porcelain veneer. A porcelain veneer is a thin, tooth shaped shell that is bonded onto your problem tooth or teeth. This means removing less than half of a millimeter from the enamel surface of your tooth, which is closely similar to the thickness of the veneer that will be attached in its place. This process may require a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area and make you more comfortable. Next, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth, so that our dental laboratory can create your custom dental veneer. Once the impression has been taken, temporary veneers are attached while your custom veneers are being made.

Attaching your dental veneers

Once our office receives your custom-made porcelain veneers from the lab, we will schedule a fitting and attachment appointment with you. During this appointment your new veneers will be physically bonded to your teeth for a secure and permanent fit. Your teeth and the veneers are prepped with a mild “acid etch” to ensure the adhesive adheres properly. Then, thanks to what is known as a “micromechanical” bond, your new veneers and your existing teeth become fused into one unit and your smile is ready to shine.

Our office offers dental veneers in Burlington that provide a stain resistant solution to a dull smile that will last for years. The results are much better compared with a teeth whitening treatment that requires bi-annual touch up appointments and wont be able to achieve the radiance of porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are stronger than composite resin and also reflect light better, so your smile will be much brighter. However, porcelain veneers are more expensive than alternatives like cosmetic bonding or teeth whitening procedures, but the results more than justify the cost.
