Dental Veneers Coquitlam

Veneers are permanent porcelain or resin tooth coverings that can help you achieve the smile of your dreams. They work very well to help cover damaged or discoloured teeth, particularly in the front of the mouth. Compared to other cosmetic procedures such as dental crowns, veneers, due to their permanence, involve a slightly more complex procedure and strong commitment.

How Does it Work?

You’ll first discuss the process with your dentist to create the best plan. Once the dentist confirms that you are a good candidate for veneers, they will trim your teeth to prepare for the placement of veneers before sending off a mould to create the veneers. During your next appointment, your dentist will check the fit of the veneers before cleaning your teeth, and the veneers will be cemented on.

Caring for Veneers

Just like your natural teeth, you’ll need to take good care of your veneers. As they undergo the normal wear and tear that your teeth do, there is the possibility that your veneers will require replacement. Your veneers cannot be removed without a replacement due to the condition of the natural tooth below. Routine brushing and flossing will help keep your veneers in good condition.
