Am I a good candidate for dental veneers?
Typically, ideal candidates for dental veneers include:
- Patients with minor dental imperfections
- Patients with good oral health (i.e. no active cavities or gum disease)
- Patients with sufficient tooth enamel
- Patients with no prior history of bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Patients committed to maintaining good oral health and hygiene after treatment
A simple dental exam during a consultation with Dr. Shergill will reveal if tooth veneers are right for you, your smile, and your lifestyle.
Are there different kinds of veneers?
Yes, there are many kinds of veneers, including:
- Temporary
- Permanent
- Removable
- Porcelain
- Acrylic
- Composite resin
Choosing the best veneers for your smile depends on your budget, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Our team is happy to discuss all of your available options during a comprehensive consultation.
What is the procedure like?
First, our team verifies a patient’s candidacy for veneers. Once verified, we begin the process by ensuring the patient’s comfort with local anesthesia before removing a thin layer of tooth enamel. After removing some enamel, Dr. Shergill gathers digital impressions of the patient’s teeth.
Then, we use these digital impressions to create custom-made veneers that complement the patient’s facial structure, smile, and overall aesthetic. Dr. Shergill may fit patients with temporary veneers while our team crafts their final prosthetics. Once the final prosthetics are complete, Dr. Shergill permanently secures the veneers to the front surface of the teeth using a strong, medical-grade cement.
The entire process may take two to three appointments to complete, but the result is a beautifully tailored smile that patients can enjoy for decades to come.
