Porcelain Veneers

What are veneers?

Veneers are wafer-thin shells that your dentist places over the fronts of your teeth. Veneers not only make your teeth whiter, but they can also hide small imperfections, such as:

• Chipped, broken, or cracked teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Unevenly worn teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Slightly crooked teeth

The dental veneers at Gunnerson Dental are made from porcelain, which is a material that mimics the natural coloring of your teeth right down to their opalescence. As well, porcelain veneers are tough and resist stains, allowing you to keep your bright, white smile for years to come.

What is the process for getting veneers?

Traditionally, the process for getting veneers took several visits, as your dentist had to prepare your teeth and then send off impressions for custom manufacture at an outside lab. At Gunnerson Dental, you can get your dental veneers in one visit thanks to advanced CEREC technology.

The team at Gunnerson Dental uses CEREC for incredibly precise, 3D imaging of your teeth, which the special software then translates into milling instructions. But rather than sending these instructions off to an outside lab, Gunnerson Dental creates your customized veneers right in their office, eliminating this time-consuming step and making the process more convenient for you.

When your veneers are ready, your dentist bonds them into place, making sure they fit well and blend in seamlessly with your existing teeth.

Hi I’m doctor Gunnerson with Gunnerson Dental. Have you ever wanted to have straighter teeth, but didn’t want to have braces? Have you ever been bothered by the spaces between your teeth or the colour and shape of your teeth? Veneers may be an option for you. A veneer is a thin covering that is placed over the front part of your tooth. We use veneers to get rid of discoloration closed spaces, change the two shape or length on a worn tooth. At Gunderson Dental we design Amila veneer right in our office to make it the perfect fit for you. We can do one veneer or more to create the smile you desire. Veneers are a great option for individuals who were born with peg teeth, adults who chipped their teeth when they were an active kid. If you have short teeth or you feel like your teeth are dull in colour. Really, for anyone who isn’t proud or confident in their smile, there’s likely to be a cosmetic option that is right for you. We’ve done cosmetic dentistry on individuals as young as 18, all the way up to 80 years old. Veneers are a great way to assist you in having a brighter and more beautiful smile that you want to show off. We want you to smile. We want you to be proud of your smile. We want to help you achieve the beautiful, vibrant smile you deserve.

How long do veneers last?

Since veneers are made from porcelain, they’re designed to last for 10-20 years, but much of their longevity is up to you based on the care you provide. If you commit to a regular cleaning regimen, avoid foods that stain, and keep up with your regular preventive visits, you can prolong the life of your veneers. Gunnerson Dental warranties your veneers, so if a problem arises, you may be covered.

If your veneers do need to be replaced, the good news is that getting replacements is a snap since Gunnerson Dental has everything you need under one roof.

It’s important to note that should you decide to get veneers, you will always need to have them. You won’t be able to pursue other cosmetic dentistry options because your dentist removes your enamel to make room for the veneers. However, this option is one of the best you can choose.
