What are Veneers?

A dental veneer is a layer of porcelain that acts like the enamel on the front side of a patient’s teeth.

Dental veneers are commonly used to fix a wide range of dental issues including:

• Minor misalignment
• Uneven teeth
• Teeth discoloration
• Cracked teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Gaps in teeth
• Wear and tear

The porcelain used in veneer grips and binds to the teeth and mimics their natural colour.

This makes veneers a good solution to cosmetic and structural dental issues.

And if you are looking for veneers in Calgary, you’re looking in the right place!

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Sierra Dental has a professional staff offering excellent porcelain veneers in Calgary.

A porcelain veneer is customized to fit the shape of a patient’s mouth. They are a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve your smile appearance. They are long-lasting and are maintained like natural teeth.

Porcelain veneers may require a patient’s teeth to be filed down slightly before being used and are permanently fixed to their teeth. They are made in an offsite lab and are tailored to fit exactly onto a patient’s teeth.

Our dentists can also match the colour of the veneers to the shade of your teeth so that neither you or anyone can notice anything different.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for Me?

We understand each patient’s situation is different. A large deterrent of veneers for many patients is their price. A veneer may cost anywhere between $1,333 and $1,519 per tooth.

Being a full-service dental clinic, we also offer other options are available for those who may want certain benefits dental veneers but don’t want a heavy financial burden.

Composite Veneers in Calgary

Our composite veneers in Calgary provide an alternative option to porcelain veneers at a lower price.

The process for composite veneers, which are also called “same-day” veneers, is a relatively new system. Instead of using porcelain, composite veneers use composite filling material which can be placed within one day and do not require construction in a lab. Composite veneers don’t always require teeth to be filed down before use. They are applied and shaped directly onto a patient’s teeth and do not need any time in a lab.

Once the filling material is shaped properly, a high-intensity light is used to harden the material.

After the composite material has hardened, it is polished to feel smooth.

Are Composite Veneers Right For Me?

Composite veneers are a more affordable option than porcelain veneers. However, there are a few drawbacks to choosing composite veneers over the porcelain option. Because they are made of composite, composite veneers are less durable and weaker than porcelain veneers. They typically only last anywhere between 3 to 5 years. They are also slightly less stain-resistant than porcelain veneers.

Dental veneers are less invasive than crowns or braces and can typically be applied within a few visits.

Which Veneer Option Should You Choose?

It is important for patients to think over their choices carefully when it comes to dental veneers.

Your decision should be determined based on the level of enhancement you want, the current state of your teeth, and your budget.

Our dentists are available to answer any questions you may have and can give honest, accurate information on your situation. Whatever teeth veneers you need in Calgary, Sierra Dental can help.
