Cosmetic Dentistry
Preparation
The process of preparing your teeth for porcelain veneers is actually quite straightforward. A little enamel usually needs to be removed from the surface of your teeth, depending on the type of veneer, the position of your teeth, and your dentist’s skill level. In many cases, the procedure can be done without the use of local anaesthetic, but this is ultimately up to your dentist. Teeth that have previously had a root canal or teeth that do not need enamel removed can usually have porcelain veneers attached without the use of anaesthetic.

Have you ever wondered why a lot of people seem to hide their smile?

This may sound harsh, but great oral care can attribute to self confidence and is a leading factor when making a first impression. Sadly, first impressions last; thus it is always important to make a great first impression. Whether you like it or not, the teeth are the frontrunners of your face. Every time you open your mouth, either to smile or to speak, the teeth always show off. Thus, when something seems to be wrong with the teeth, it makes people lose their confidence most especially when they speak, or even just smile.

For decades dentists have had available to them materials that can create a durable bond to tooth enamel. These bonding materials are used to securely attach a thin sheet of porcelain (the porcelain veneer) to a tooth. Although porcelain is inherently brittle, when it is firmly bonded to a sturdy substructure (a tooth) it becomes very strong and durable.
Some of the popular cosmetic dentistry treatments which you can receive in the Vancouver area include Inlays and Onlays, which are basically porcelain fillings that are less noticeable than typical fillings. If you’ve chipped or broken a tooth, you may need to get composite bonding, porcelain veneers, and crowns. In case of missing teeth you may choose to get dental implants or bridge.
