Veneers in Saint John

An Easy Way To Create A Perfect Smile

What Is Veneers?

Veneers are similar to crowns, except that they cover only the visible front part of the teeth. They can be made of composite resin or porcelain. The composite resin veneer can be installed in one visit only and looks completely natural. The porcelain veneer is installed under local anesthesia; a mold is created to customize the veneer. Two visits are necessary for the final veneer to be installed. Obviously, a temporary veneer will cover the tooth being repaired. Porcelain veneers last longer than composite resin ones and can’t get stained.

The essential advantages that our dental veneers bring to Saint John patients are:

Dental veneers can help address several cosmetic and health-related problems at once. Their natural appearance and ability to resolve multiple issues at once make veneers the preferred choice for patients seeking a comprehensive solution to imperfect teeth.
Not only are porcelain veneers a long-lasting solution to damaged or misshapen teeth, but they also help prevent decay and staining in the future!
Dental veneers are exceedingly easy to maintain. In fact, if you already take care of your teeth — brushing twice and flossing once daily — you’re already doing what’s necessary to care for porcelain veneers.

We also perform bridges & crowns procedures to improve the aesthetics of your smile.

How long do dental veneers last?

How do I get veneers to match my other teeth?

This concern will be addressed by your dentist. Most people get their veneers in a whiter shade than their natural teeth and then undergo tooth whitening to create a matching aesthetic.

Can I brush and floss my teeth after veneers, and do I still have to come for professional hygiene appointments?

Yes! You can brush all your teeth the same way. You can floss all the veneered teeth and you should continue your regular hygiene appointments as you have in the past.
