Dental Veneers From Your Dentist in Scarborough

When you’re interested in rejuvenating the look of your teeth, at EastSide Family Dental in Scarborough, we know that dental veneers may offer the smile-transforming results you’re looking for.

What are dental veneers and how can they change the appearance of my teeth?

Sculpted from porcelain or resin-composite materials, a veneer is a thin shell that covers the front surface of a tooth, updating its length, colour, and shape.

These shells can also fill unwanted gaps between teeth, correct minor misalignment issues without the need for orthodontics, and they’re customized to suit your smile and smile goals. Additionally, because they’re made to replicate the look of natural teeth, most people will never be able to tell the difference between a veneer and your original tooth (or teeth).

What additional benefits do they offer?

Along with the fact that they’re extremely durable since they’re bonded to the tooth’s underlying structure, dental veneers are also more stain-resistant than natural teeth. They’re also less likely to develop decay, and these permanent prosthesis devices can last for upwards of 10 years with dedicated dental hygiene habits.

How should veneers be cared for?

Along with brushing twice and flossing once each day and seeing us for a thorough cleaning and examination every six months, it’s important to remember that though these shells are durable, they shouldn’t be used to chew ice, open bags or packages, etc. Also, if you’re someone who experiences nighttime teeth grinding (also called bruxism), it’s important that you talk to us about how a professional nightguard can help protect your smile.
