Canyon Dental Centre in North Vancouver provides veneers and bonding for patients looking to change the appearance of their smile.
Veneers in North Vancouver
Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the surface of the tooth to improve its esthetics or to protect a damaged tooth. Veneers or porcelain laminates are like acrylic or gel fingernails and can be used to close spaces, mask stains and discolouring, cover chipping, correct misshapen or crooked teeth.
What treatments or problems are veneers used for?
There are a wide variety of reasons why patients opt for treatment with dental veneers:
- Stained teeth – badly stained teeth that cannot be improved by teeth whitening or other treatments.
- Damaged teeth – teeth that have become badly worn through excessive grinding or by carbonated drinks, as well as those that have been chipped or broken.
- Gaps – spaces or gaps between your teeth can easily be closed using dental veneers
- Crooked teeth – for teeth that are not severely crooked, veneers can be placed to make them look straighter.
Bonding in North Vancouver
Bonding can be used for smaller cosmetic corrections than veneers. It consists of a resin that is applied to your teeth and is generally the same colour as your natural teeth.
How does cosmetic bonding work?
During the bonding procedure, a resin is applied to your teeth using a high-intensity light. Once the resin is applied, the bonded resin is sculpted to your teeth and polished.
What can bonding be used to fix?
- Repair chips or cracks and close spaces between teeth
- Fill cavities and restore decayed teeth
- Fix teeth that are discoloured and change a tooth’s shape
- Protect your tooth root from exposure from receding gums
