Veneers
If, for any reason, you are missing one or more teeth, it is important to replace them for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Missing teeth can affect the appearance of your smile, but they can also upset the balance of your teeth and cause other problems. Among the options offered by the dentists at Clinique Poirier in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, crowns and bridges are durable and affordable solutions.
VENEERS FOR A UNIFORM, RADIANT SMILE
Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite, placed directly on the surface of the teeth. They improve the appearance of teeth by covering yellowed or discolored teeth, or by restoring a smooth and even look to a chipped or cracked tooth. Veneers can also enhance tooth alignment by evening out their length and correcting irregular spaces between them. At Clinique Poirier, your dental center in Valleyfield, two types of veneers are available to meet everyone’s needs: composite veneers (chairside veneers) and porcelain veneers.
COMPOSITE VENEERS: A SIMPLE AND QUICK OPTION
These veneers are made of composite resin and applied in a single appointment. They are shaped and hardened directly on the teeth. While they offer the advantage of speed and simplicity, composite veneers are less durable and more vulnerable to stains and discoloration.
PORCELAIN VENEERS FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS
Made of durable porcelain and available in different shades to match any dentition, porcelain veneers are longer-lasting and more resistant to staining. Their polished finish also provides a harmonious and aesthetic result. They are generally placed in two appointments:
-
First appointment:
After evaluating your teeth and your needs, the dentist administers a local anesthetic, then removes a thin layer of enamel to prepare the teeth. Impressions are then taken before temporary veneers are placed. -
Second appointment:
The dentist removes the temporary veneers and bonds the custom-made veneers permanently.
