Dental Veneers at Viva Dental Orangeville
Dental Veneers in Orangeville
A veneer is a thin, custom-made ceramic shell designed to discreetly cover the front and side surfaces of your tooth. Typically made from ceramic materials, veneers are mostly personalized to match your natural teeth and securely attached through bonding. Despite their slender design, these coverings are remarkably durable, providing long-lasting quality for many years.
Veneers aren’t suitable for every patient, but they offer a cosmetic solution for various dental issues, such as gaps between teeth, fractured, chipped, or worn teeth, misaligned teeth, teeth permanently stained or discolored, and teeth that are misshapen or asymmetrical.
How are Veneers installed?
Step One
In the beginning, your dentist may choose a shade that closely matches the natural color of your teeth. They prepare the tooth’s enamel to ensure the veneer blends in seamlessly with your nearby teeth. The existing enamel serves as a base to which the veneer is attached. After this preparation, your dentist takes an impression of your teeth to make a replica. Temporary veneers made from composite material are then carefully created in the dental office. These temporary veneers are placed on your teeth to cover the prepared areas and provide protection while the permanent veneers are being carefully crafted in a dental laboratory.
StepTwo
At your next visit, your dentist carefully places the custom-made veneers on the prepared teeth. The veneer is attached to both the front and side surfaces of your tooth. Once in place, a safe, high-intensity light is used for 30 seconds to firmly set the veneer in position. Before they are placed, skilled ceramists can customize the colour of the veneers to ensure your smile achieves perfection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental veneers (porcelain vs composite)?
Dental veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve colour, shape, and overall smile aesthetics. The two most common types are porcelain veneers and composite resin veneers.What dental problems can veneers fix?
Veneers are commonly used for stained teeth, chipped teeth, small gaps, uneven edges, and mildly misaligned teeth—especially when patients want a cosmetic upgrade without orthodontics.How does the veneer procedure work (step-by-step)?
Most veneer cases involve: consultation + smile design → minor enamel reshaping (if needed) → impressions/digital scan → temporary veneers (sometimes) → final bonding appointment where veneers are cemented and polished.Do veneers hurt?
Many patients feel little to no pain. If enamel reshaping is needed, dentists often use local anesthetic. Some people experience short-term sensitivity afterward, especially if multiple teeth were prepped.How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, porcelain veneers can last many years. Longevity depends on bite forces, habits (like grinding/clenching), and how much tooth structure was removed.How long do composite veneers last compared to porcelain?
Composite veneers are usually less expensive and can often be done faster, but they typically wear and stain more easily than porcelain, so they may need polishing, repair, or replacement sooner.How much do veneers cost in Canada?
Veneer pricing varies by province, case complexity, dentist experience, and material. Many clinics quote per-tooth pricing, with composite generally lower than porcelain.Are veneers covered by dental insurance in Canada (or the CDCP)?
Many insurance plans treat veneers as cosmetic dentistry, so coverage is often limited or excluded unless there’s a medically necessary reason. CDCP coverage depends on eligibility and the current benefits rules.Can veneers be whitened if they stain?
Whitening products work on natural tooth enamel, not on veneers. If surrounding teeth are whitened, veneers may look darker by comparison—so many patients whiten first, then match veneer shade.What’s the difference between veneers vs crowns vs bonding?
Veneers: cover the front surface to improve appearance
Crowns: cover most or all of the tooth for added strength and protection
Bonding: resin repair for small chips/gaps; often the most conservative option
