Questions about Porcelain Veneers

Calgary, Alberta

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-created ceramic coverings designed specifically to be bonded to the front of teeth. They are an excellent solution for many common dental issues and a popular choice when creating a beautiful, new smile.

What dental issues can porcelain veneers correct?

Porcelain veneers beautifully restore teeth that are, crooked, misaligned, gapped, worn, stained or chipped. If you suffer from one or more of these common dental issues, you will be amazed at how porcelain veneers can restore your smile and your self-esteem.

Can porcelain veneers develop stains over time?

Porcelain veneers do not accumulate stains like natural teeth might from smoking or drinking coffee, tea or dark wines. As long as the veneer maintains its glaze, it is very stain-resistant. Mistreated veneers may stain if the glaze is worn away. Avoid overly abrasive toothpastes and be sure to see your dentist regularly for checkups.

Do porcelain veneers build up plaque like natural teeth?

Excellent at-home oral care and regular dental visits should be all you need to prevent plaque buildup. Porcelain veneers do resist plaque buildup, but ignoring your oral health over time will eventually cause plaque to occur. Remember to brush and floss regularly as you would to care for your natural teeth, and your veneers will reward you by looking beautiful for many years.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers strong, durable and long lasting with regular care. Your porcelain veneers may last up to ten years. However, each experience is individual and some patients may experience shorter or longer wear.
