Types of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or resin composite material that are custom-made to bond to the front surface of your teeth. They are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment and have different types. The best type for you will depend on your individual needs and cosmetic goals.

Porcelain Dental Veneers

These are the most popular type of veneer and are known for their high durability and aesthetic appearance. They are also very natural-looking, as they can be custom-made to match the color and shade of your existing teeth, and are resistant to staining, and do not require excessive grinding down of tooth structure during the process.
Our experienced dentists will meticulously measure your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit for your custom-crafted veneers. We prioritize partnering with trusted dental labs to deliver top-notch, long-lasting results. While your permanent veneers are created (usually within a week to ten days), your dentist will provide temporary veneers to safeguard your teeth and maintain a natural appearance throughout the process.

FAQs

1- How long do teeth veneers last?

Veneer lifespan isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. While they typically last 10-20 years, several factors can influence their longevity:

Material: Porcelain veneers generally outlast composite ones.
Care: Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits significantly impact wear and tear.
Habits: Clenching, grinding, or using teeth for tasks like opening bottles can shorten the lifespan of veneers.

By choosing high-quality veneers, practicing excellent oral hygiene, and avoiding risky habits, you can maximize the lifespan of your veneers and enjoy your beautiful smile for years to come.

2- Is veneer good for teeth?

Veneers can be good for teeth cosmetically, masking chips, discoloration, and minor gaps. While veneers can give you a dazzling smile by hiding chips or stains, they’re primarily for aesthetics. Unlike crowns, veneers don’t significantly strengthen or repair teeth themselves.

3- What happens to teeth under veneers?

With proper care, the teeth under veneers should be fine. A thin layer of enamel is removed for placement, but the veneer itself can actually protect the tooth from further damage. However, good oral hygiene is still key to preventing cavities that can form under the veneer.

4- Who should not get veneers?

Veneers may not be suitable for everyone due to factors such as poor oral health, grinding/clenching, severe misalignment, and unrealistic expectations. Poor oral health can worsen veneers, so it’s essential to address these issues with your dentist. Grinding or clenching can chip or crack veneers, so night guards might be necessary. Veneers are not ideal for major misalignment issues, so braces or other orthodontic treatments might be more suitable.

5- Why do veneers look so big?

If veneers appear large, resembling horses’ teeth, it’s likely due to an inexperienced dentist or a naive dental technician who may not deliver the expected larger surfaces for your teeth.

6- Do veneers turn yellow?

Veneers, made from stain-resistant materials like porcelain, don’t turn yellow. However, they may appear less bright over time due to surface stains, underlying tooth discoloration, and aging of the veneer. Surface stains from coffee, wine, or smoking can accumulate, while tooth discoloration may show through if the veneer wasn’t perfectly white. The adhesive material bonding the veneer to the tooth can also degrade over time, potentially affecting the veneer’s color.

7- How much are veneers in Vancouver, BC?

Veneers in Vancouver, BC cost between $900 and $3,000 per tooth. This price range can vary depending on the material used (porcelain being more expensive than composite) and the dentist’s experience.

8- What is the cheapest way to get veneers?

If you are looking for a more affordable option, choose composite veneers over porcelain. Composite veneers offer a budget-friendly alternative to porcelain veneers. While they may not last quite as long, they require minimal removal of your natural tooth enamel (minimally invasive) and provide a beautiful smile without a permanent commitment.

9- How much is a full top set of veneers?

The cost of a full set of veneers depends on the material used (porcelain being more expensive than composite) and the dentist’s experience. Estimated cost range per tooth is $900 to $2,500. Based on this range, a full set of porcelain veneers can cost anywhere from $7,200 to $20,000.

10- How many teeth is a full set of veneers?

A full set of veneers typically doesn’t cover all your teeth but focuses on the most visible ones when you smile. The number can vary depending on your dentist’s recommendation and your specific smile design goals, but a full set involves placing veneers on six or eight teeth.

In some cases, up to 10 or 12 teeth might be covered for a very broad smile or specific smile design requirements.

11- Do people get veneers on just the top teeth?

While many people prioritize their top front teeth for veneers, a dazzling smile often involves both arches. Both upper and lower teeth contribute to the overall look when you grin.

The good news is that dentists can seamlessly place veneers on both the top and bottom rows to create a balanced and beautiful smile transformation.
