Whether you’re looking to correct discoloration, chips, or gaps, our team is committed to delivering exceptional results with a gentle touch.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. Made from porcelain or resin composite materials, they are permanently bonded to your teeth, altering their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth’s color and shape; they don’t require the extensive shaping that crowns do, yet provide a stronger, more aesthetic alternative.

Our St. George dentists may recommend veneers if you want to improve your smile’s appearance. You can use custom-made veneers for just one tooth or for your entire smile. We may suggest these to:

  • Close large spaces and gaps between teeth
  • Whiten severely stained or discolored teeth
  • Improve the appearance of irregularly shaped teeth
  • Correct slightly crooked teeth
  • Restore broken, chipped, worn or fractured teeth

Improved Dental Health

  • Protection: By covering the front surface of teeth, veneers provide a protective layer, potentially reducing the risk of chips and cracks.
  • Gum Tissue Compatibility: Porcelain veneers are well-tolerated by gum tissue, minimizing the risk of gum-related issues.

Enhanced Self-Confidence and Quality of Life

  • Boost in Confidence: A beautiful smile can significantly boost self-esteem, impacting personal and professional interactions.
  • Social and Professional Benefits: A brighter, more appealing smile can enhance social interactions and professional opportunities, as a great smile is often associated with health, vitality, and confidence.

Versatility

  • Color Correction: Veneers are an excellent option for teeth that have not responded well to whitening procedures.
  • Shape and Size Customization: They can also alter the shape and size of teeth, making them a versatile option for various aesthetic concerns.

Durability and Longevity

  • Long-Term Solution: When maintained properly, veneers are a durable, long-term solution for enhancing your smile.
  • Resistant to Wear: Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to wear and tear, maintaining their appearance over time.

Minimally Invasive

  • Less Tooth Reduction: Veneers often require less removal of tooth enamel compared to other cosmetic procedures, such as crowns.
  • Preservation of Natural Tooth Structure: This conservative approach helps in preserving the maximum amount of natural tooth structure.

Types of Veneers and Their Ideal Candidates

At Gentle Dentistry, we offer various types of veneers to suit diverse needs and preferences. Understanding the types and their ideal candidates can help you make an informed decision:

  1. An illustration of dental veneers Porcelain Veneers: These are the most popular type due to their natural appearance and durability. Ideal for individuals looking for a long-lasting solution, porcelain veneers are perfect for correcting a wide range of dental imperfections, such as severe discoloration, chips, and gaps. They are best suited for patients seeking a significant cosmetic change and who have healthy dental structures.
  2. Composite Resin Veneers: Less expensive than porcelain, composite resin veneers are a good choice for those looking for a less invasive and more cost-effective solution. They are ideal for minor cosmetic changes, such as small chips or gaps, and can often be completed in a single visit. These are best for patients who prefer a quicker procedure with minimal tooth alteration.
  3. Lumineers®: A brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers, Lumineers® require minimal to no tooth reduction. They are ideal for patients who desire a significant aesthetic enhancement with a more conservative approach. Suitable for those with minor cosmetic issues, Lumineers® offer a less invasive procedure while still providing a durable and natural-looking result.
  4. Removable Veneers (Snap-On Smile®): These are a temporary and non-invasive alternative, ideal for patients not ready for permanent veneers or those looking for a cost-effective solution to improve their smile temporarily. They are best for special occasions or as a trial before committing to permanent veneers.

Each type of veneer has unique benefits and considerations. At Gentle Dentistry, Dr. Evans and Dr. Goold will guide you through the options, helping you choose the best type based on your dental health, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle needs. Our goal is to ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective treatment to achieve a beautiful, confident smile.
