As a cosmetic dentist Scarborough patients have relied on for over 40 years, our practice brings together clinical expertise, advanced technology, and a warm, patient-first approach that makes the entire experience feel manageable and even exciting.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin shells of dental porcelain that are custom-crafted and bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They’re designed to match the natural look of tooth enamel while correcting a wide range of cosmetic concerns. The result is a smile that looks completely natural because it is shaped, shaded, and sized specifically for your face and your goals. Veneers can address:

• Chips and cracks
• Stubborn staining that whitening treatments can’t fully resolve
• Gaps between teeth
• Slightly misaligned or uneven teeth
• Worn-down enamel
• Irregularly shaped teeth

What to Expect During Your Veneer Treatment

The veneer process typically takes place over two to three appointments. During your first visit, one of our dentists will evaluate your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and take digital impressions using our iTero scanner. This allows us to create a precise plan and gives you a preview of your results before any work begins.

At your preparation appointment, a small amount of enamel is gently removed from the tooth surface to make room for the veneer. This is a minimal, permanent change, so the decision to move forward should feel right to you. Temporary veneers are placed while your custom restorations are crafted at the dental lab.

Once your permanent veneers are ready, they are carefully bonded in place, adjusted for fit and bite, and polished to a natural finish. Most patients walk out of that final appointment absolutely thrilled.

Technology That Makes a Difference

Our practices use digital impressions with the iTero scanner, eliminating the discomfort of traditional putty molds. Intraoral cameras allow you to see exactly what we see, and our use of cone beam 3D imaging ensures every treatment plan is built on precise, detailed information. These tools help us deliver results that are both beautiful and reliably long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers require a small amount of enamel removal to place properly, which means the process is not fully reversible. With good home care and regular dental visits, they can last well over a decade.

Do veneers look natural?

Yes. Porcelain veneers are designed to mimic the translucency and texture of natural tooth enamel. Most people won’t be able to tell the difference.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. Local anesthetic is used during preparation, and sedation options are available for added peace of mind.

How do I care for my veneers?

Brush and floss as you normally would, attend your regular hygiene appointments, and avoid using your teeth to open packages or bite into very hard foods.
