At Scott and Derry Dental Care of Milton, Ontario, we offer veneer treatment to improve the appearance of your smile. Veneers are extremely thin shells created from porcelain or composite material that is bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Dr. Jameela Jifri and her associates work routinely with patients considering aesthetic treatments to improve and transform the appearance of the smile. We encourage patients to ask about porcelain veneers to determine if they are a proper candidate.

How do veneers work?

Veneers are bonded onto the tooth and are opaque. This allows them to cover imperfections of the tooth underneath quickly and easily!

What are veneers used to achieve?

Veneers are used to close gaps between teeth, restore chipped or broken teeth, and cover permanent staining that cannot be corrected with teeth whitening. They can also improve the shape and alignment of slightly crooked or misshapen teeth. Veneers offer coverage to disguise these imperfections and allow patients to feel more confident when socializing and smiling with others when cosmetic dental issues exist.

What is the process of obtaining customized porcelain veneers?

If you are considering veneer treatment, our dentists will first assess the health and strength of your teeth to ensure they can support the veneers and that it is an effective solution to your unique concerns. During your veneer procedure, a small amount of enamel may need to be removed from the tooth surface so that the veneer fits properly. This makes it a minimally invasive treatment for our patients. Impressions are made after preparations are completed and sent to a laboratory to fabricate the veneers that are later bonded onto the front of the tooth. This restoration disguises the issue while remaining natural-looking in appearance.
