Porcelain Veneers

Your North York Dentist will help you achieve the smile of your dreams with porcelain veneers!

If you have teeth that are irregularly shaped, spaced, discoloured, or chipped, porcelain veneers can be one of the simplest, least intrusive ways to achieve the smile you’ve been wishing for. Best of all, porcelain veneers can be completed in as little as two visits.

So what are porcelain veneers? Your North York dentist explains…

Porcelain veneers are composed of thin layers of porcelain that are adhered to the front of a single tooth or multiple teeth. Shape and colour can all be customized to perfectly complement your smile.Once bonded to your teeth, they are strong and virtually undetectable.Porcelain veneers are an excellent method of restoring your smile.

The Porcelain Veneers Procedure by your North York Dentist

During the first appointment, a small amount of tooth enamel may be removed so the veneers do not make your teeth appear to be unnaturally thick. Temporary veneers can be placed to help determine the final shape we are trying to achieve. In one to two weeks, we will try out the super-thin veneers during your follow-up appointment. If you like the results, these will then be cemented into place.

Although veneers do not wear out or stain, they are subject to cracks and damage just like natural teeth. If you regularly clench or grind your teeth, Dr. Michaels at Dentistry on Wilson will recommend that you wear a guard to protect your veneers during the night.
