Types of Dental Veneers
WHAT ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Porcelain dental veneers are custom-made shells of tooth-coloured material designed to cover the front surface of your teeth to improve your appearance. To cosmetically fix teeth fast, veneers are excellent for those who want the most natural result possible. When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable.
Uniquely custom designed using our CEREC® technology to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth, porcelain dental veneers can be used to conceal a variety of tooth imperfections including worn, stained, crooked or discoloured teeth. Dental veneers can be made for you in one visit using our innovative CEREC® technology, which will effectively change your smile and improve both the form and function of your teeth with virtually no discomfort or downtime after treatment.
For strength and appearance, a veneers resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options. Veneers are designed to be maintained through routine oral cleaning habits, and they can last for a long time. The best part is they look more natural than other methods because just like a real tooth, porcelain reflects the light. Veneers generally require minimal tooth preparation and won’t weaken your natural tooth structure either.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Once your porcelain veneers have been placed, they do not require any additional maintenance beyond your normal routine brushing, flossing, and regularly scheduled dental hygiene clean appointments.
While the porcelain material itself will never stain or decay, it is important to remember that the underlying tooth structure is still susceptible to staining or decay just like any other normal tooth, the latter of which can ultimately lead to veneer damage. Therefore maintaining good oral hygiene habits are essential to prolonging the longevity of your veneers.
When properly cared for, porcelain veneers can last for many years if following a good oral hygiene routine including regular professional teeth scaling by our in-house Hygienist.
NOT ALL VENEERS ARE THE SAME
At Wellsford Dental, we offer the latest in dental technologies to ensure you receive the most comfortable and successful treatment in a safe and efficient environment. When choosing a dental practice for porcelain veneers, it is important to keep in mind that cost is often reflective of the quality of technology and materials used. As well of course as the credentials, skill, and experience of the cosmetic dentist. Consequently, a lower price point should never be the only factor used to select a provider, as this may potentially lead to sub-optimal treatment and/or results.

SHOULD I CHOOSE TEETH WHITENING OR PORCELAIN VENEERS?
A person’s smile is often one of the first things people notice about their appearance. As a result, stains or tooth imperfections can have a significant effect on one’s self-esteem. With cosmetic dentistry techniques such as teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, Dr. Mohan can rejuvenate your smile for a more vibrant and youthful look. But how can you determine which procedure is best for you?
Professional teeth whitening treatments, such as our in-office Zoom!® Whitening system, can restore the natural radiance of your teeth in a single day. This option can be a great benefit if you have a special event on the horizon such as a wedding or a reunion. Zoom!® Whitening is a fast and effective treatment that can eliminate stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and other agents that can discolour the teeth. The procedure can ultimately brighten your teeth up to eight shades lighter in 45 minutes. Patients who wish to have the convenience of whitening in the privacy of their own home also have the option of our easy-to-use custom trays and gel.
For patients who have deeper, more significant stains and discoloration on their teeth, porcelain veneers may be an additional solution to achieve a brighter, whiter smile. This cosmetic treatment has the added benefit of concealing a number of other tooth imperfections. If you wish to address any cracks, chips, gaps, or even mild tooth misalignment, veneers can typically address those concerns.
