Get Veneers in Burlington for Chipped & Stained Teeth
If you’ve ever been jealous of stars on TV and their perfectly white, shiny teeth, you may be happy to know that getting white teeth is possible for you too through applying veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin shells made of either porcelain or composite resin that go over the surface of your teeth, covering up things like gaps, chips, and large discolourations. Porcelain veneers look almost exactly like natural teeth and are very durable.

How Composite Resin Veneers are Applied
Applying composite resin veneers is similar to applying bond fillings.
- The dentist roughens the surface of the tooth so the composite resin can adhere more easily
- They will then choose a veneer colour similar to the shade of your tooth
- The resin is applied to your tooth in layers, and then formed and hardened to the shape of your teeth using a light
As you can see, the process is quite simple and can be done in one appointment.
How Porcelain Veneers are Applied
Porcelain veneers look very much like natural teeth and are highly durable, but they may take more than one visit to the dentist.
- You must first be fitted for a porcelain veneer: The dentist will apply a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area, then remove a thin layer of enamel from the surface of your tooth
- A mould of your tooth is then created, and your custom porcelain veneer will be sculpted from this mould.
- While you wait for the veneer to be created, you will wear temporary veneers, which are fragile and require good care
- When the permanent porcelain veneers are ready, the dentist will roughen the surface of your tooth, and then apply the porcelain layer by layer with composite resin cement.
