Veneers/ Laminates

Dental veneers are a possible solution to help you achieve the look you desire. They are a popular choice for those with chipped teeth, a gap between teeth, or mis-shaped teeth. If one is not satisfied with the shape, size, or colour of his or her teeth, then veneers, laminates, or tooth colour caps are one of the treatment choices.

Dental veneers are thin covers that adhere to teeth to give teeth a more classically shaped look, just as women adhere artificial nails to their natural nails or sun mica laminates adhere to wood furniture. If you want to improve your smile, dental veneers are a simple option. Veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth. They look like natural teeth. Some people may only get one veneer in the case of a broken or chipped tooth, but many get between six and eight veneers in order to create an even, symmetrical smile. The top eight front teeth are the most commonly treated with veneers.

• Teeth that are worn down.
• Focus on one patient at a time.
• Teeth that are chipped or broken.
