whitening products and some whitening toothpaste can be too abrasive on enamel. These products often contain potent bleaching agents that can damage enamel and dentin layers or soft oral tissues, like the gums. 
Dental Veneers in Alstonville
Dental veneers are stain-resistant thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. Veneers conceal aesthetic imperfections, such as:
- Chips, fractures and cracks
- Deeply discoloured or stained teeth
- Minor misalignments
- Gaps or uneven spacing between teeth
- Teeth of irregular sizes or shapes
The Dental Veneer Process
Veneers Consultation Appointment
We start by arranging a consultation during which we discuss your needs, goals and possible treatment options. During this appointment, we will also perform an oral health examination, x-rays and digital impressions. If the dentist confirms your candidacy for veneers, we arrange your procedure for a day and time that best fits your schedule.
Veneers Procedure Appointment
On the day of your veneer procedure, the dentist prepares the tooth to accept the veneer by removing a trace amount of enamel. This creates space for the veneer to adhere to the tooth’s surface without impeding your bite. The dentist then takes an impression of your teeth and sends the res
ults to a trusted laboratory, where a specialist creates your final veneers.
During this time, we give you temporary veneers to wear so you can eat, speak and smile with comfort and ease. When your final veneers are complete, we affix them to your teeth and ensure the size, shape, and shade meet your expectations.
Veneers can generally last between seven and 15 years, after which we will need to replace them.
