Dental Veneers Can Improve Your Smile Aesthetic

If you're looking to improve your smile and self-confidence, at South Point Dental in Airdrie, we know that dental veneers may be your ideal option. In addition to being able to help correct many minor gapping and misalignment issues, they can also change the size, shape, and color of teeth, helping you achieve a smile you can feel proud to share!

What steps are involved with having veneers placed?

The first step is to consult with our team to see if you are a candidate for veneers. If it’s determined that you are a good candidate, the next step is to schedule an appointment to begin the veneer creation process, which generally takes two visits. The first visit involves preparing your teeth and taking impressions which will be sent to and created by our dental laboratory experts. The second involves checking the completed veneers for fit, color, and size. Once it's been determined that they're right for your smile, our dentist will bond them to your teeth.

Who is and isn't a candidate for veneers?

Candidates for dental veneers are typically people who have good oral hygiene, and those who would like to improve the appearance of their smile. Those with stained or discolored teeth chipped or broken teeth, or gapped, misaligned teeth, and misshapen teeth may also be good candidates.

It's important to note that veneers are not an ideal option for people who have active tooth decay or gum disease, as these issues can cause the veneers to fail. Veneers are also not a good option for people who grind their teeth, as this can cause them to chip or break.
