Veneers FAQs
Cosmetic Dentist Serving Vancouver
What are the risks associated with porcelain veneers?
Properly planned and fabricated veneers are a safe and effective solution to a host of issues.
However, it is essential that your porcelain veneers are made and fitted by a dentist with training and experience in neuromuscular dentistry. A poorly fitted or incorrectly sized veneer can affect the overall alignment of your bite, which can affect the function of your temporomandibular joint, or TMJ.
For this reason, it is important to seek out a dentist who has experience not only in cosmetic dentistry, but in neuromuscular dentistry as well.
Are porcelain veneers safe?
Yes. Our porcelain veneers and adhesives are composed of safe, biocompatible materials, and contain no toxins.
How long does the procedure take?
Our porcelain veneer procedure usually can be completed in a single office visit. Thanks to our advanced CEREC 3 technology, your custom-fitted veneers can be fabricated quickly and precisely right here in our office, while you wait.
What are the uses for porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for a variety of cosmetic issues. Because they completely replace the visible surface area of your teeth, they are appropriate for problems such as staining, chipping, cracking, unevenly sized and shaped teeth, and gaps between your teeth.
In addition to these cosmetic uses, porcelain veneers are an integral part of our
full mouth reconstruction procedures for patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
Can you place veneers on all your teeth?
Yes. Quite often back teeth and lower teeth have unsightly cosmetic needs that are well-addressed by veneers.
Are all veneers made with CEREC?
No. Sometimes, in complicated situations, the veneers will be done in two appointments, and are then made by an outside laboratory.
