What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are like thin, strong wafers that can be attached to the front of your teeth. Compared to other treatment options, many people like dental veneers because they are cost-effective, relatively painless to apply, and versatile enough to address a wide variety of dental concerns. Our dentists will take a close look at your teeth, customize your veneers to fix your specific dental issues, and apply them to the front of your teeth efficiently. It is not unusual for veneers to last for more than a decade.
What Problems Can Dental Veneers Fix?
There are several examples of problems that dental veneers can address. For example, if you are looking for a quick way to address stains on your teeth, or if there is a small chip or crack in your tooth that has to be addressed, dental veneers could be an effective treatment option. In case there is a slight alignment issue involving your teeth, dental veneers might be able to address that issue as well. It is important to work with a trained dentist who can help you decide if dental veneers are right for you.

Veneers FAQs
Can veneers help if I have a minor misalignment in my teeth?
Yes, veneers can effectively address minor tooth misalignment. Often called “instant orthodontics,” veneers can create the appearance of perfectly aligned teeth without the need for braces or aligners. They are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, masking imperfections such as slight crowding, gaps, or uneven edges. However, orthodontic treatment may be necessary for more severe cases of misalignment. Dr. Farkhondeh can assess your smile and recommend whether veneers are a suitable solution for your situation.
Are veneers stain-resistant?
Coffee, tea, red wine, and other meals and drinks do not easily discolour porcelain veneers. This is because the surface of porcelain is non-porous and smooth, unlike natural tooth enamel. Composite veneers are less expensive and more prone to staining over time. Despite their stain-resistant nature, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive consumption of staining substances can help keep your veneers looking bright and beautiful.
Can veneers strengthen weak teeth?
Veneers can provide added strength to teeth with minor structural weaknesses, such as chips or cracks. The durable porcelain material used in veneers adds a protective layer to the front of the tooth, enhancing its overall strength. However, crowns may be a more appropriate restorative option for teeth with significant damage or decay. Dr. Farkhondeh will evaluate your teeth and recommend the best solution to improve your smile’s appearance and health.
How do veneers affect my natural teeth?
Getting veneers typically requires removing a small amount of enamel from the front of your natural teeth to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance. This irreversible process means veneers or other restorations must always protect the teeth. The amount of enamel removal is minimal, and with expert care from Dr. Farkhondeh, your teeth will remain healthy and strong underneath the veneers.
Do veneers change the way I speak?
Veneers rarely impact speech. However, some patients may experience a brief adjustment period as they get used to their teeth’ new shape and size. If veneers are slightly thicker or longer than your natural teeth, you might notice changes in how certain sounds are produced. This usually resolves quickly as your tongue and mouth adapt. Dr. Farkhondeh will ensure your veneers are customized for a natural, comfortable fit to minimize any speech changes.
Can veneers fix gaps between teeth?
Yes, veneers are an excellent solution for closing small gaps between teeth. By customizing the shape and size of the veneers, Dr. Farkhondeh can create a seamless, even smile. This approach offers a faster and less invasive alternative to orthodontic treatments like braces. Veneers also provide the added benefit of enhancing your teeth’ overall colour and appearance while closing the gaps.
How long do veneers typically last?
With the right maintenance, porcelain veneers can endure for several ten to fifteen years or even longer. The average lifespan of composite veneers is between less than porcelain veneer five and seven years. Your veneers will last longer if you practice proper oral hygiene, refrain from biting into hard items, and see Dr. Farkhondeh for routine dental check-ups. Individual veneers can be fixed or changed without affecting the set in the event of damage.
