Veneers in Toronto
Veneers are a cosmetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of your smile by enhancing the color, shape, and overall symmetry of your teeth. They are often chosen for concerns like staining, chips, gaps, or uneven edges. At Moxie Dental, we take a conservative, patient focused approach and help you choose veneers only when they are the right fit for your goals and oral health.
Why Patients Choose Veneers
If you feel self conscious about how your teeth look when you smile, veneers can be a long lasting way to create a brighter, more balanced appearance. Veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to cover cosmetic concerns while still looking natural. They are commonly chosen for teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, misshapen, or slightly misaligned.
Veneers can also help improve confidence by giving your smile a more even, polished look. During your consultation at Moxie Dental, we review your concerns, discuss what results are realistic, and explain how veneers compare to other options such as whitening or bonding.
What to Expect During the Veneers Process
Your veneers treatment begins with a consultation and a detailed smile evaluation. We assess your teeth, gums, and bite to confirm veneers are appropriate. If you have any active dental concerns, such as decay or gum inflammation, those are addressed first to support long term results.
Once veneers are planned, the teeth are gently prepared when needed, and impressions or scans are taken so your veneers can be custom made. When ready, the veneers are bonded carefully and adjusted for fit, shade, and bite comfort. The goal is a natural look that blends with your smile and feels comfortable in daily life.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are a more conservative cosmetic option that uses tooth colored resin to improve the appearance of teeth. Instead of being created in a lab, composite veneers are typically shaped and bonded directly to the tooth in the clinic. This makes them a good option for patients who want to improve the shape, color, or symmetry of their smile with a faster treatment timeline.
Composite veneers can help with concerns like small chips, uneven edges, minor gaps, or discoloration. They are often more affordable than porcelain veneers and may require less tooth preparation. While they can look very natural, they may not be as stain resistant or long lasting as porcelain. Our team will explain the differences clearly and help you choose the option that best fits your goals and expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are veneers made of?
Veneers can be made from porcelain or tooth coloured composite resin. Porcelain veneers are custom made and stain resistant, while composite veneers are built directly on the tooth. We will explain which option fits your needs and smile goals.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Veneers are designed to match the shape and shade of your smile and should blend naturally with your features. We plan carefully to ensure your veneers look balanced, bright, and realistic. Our goal is a smile that feels like you.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last many years with good home care and regular dental visits. Composite veneers may need touch ups or replacement sooner, depending on habits and staining. We will give you guidance on how to protect and maintain your veneers.
Is getting veneers painful?
Most patients find veneers treatment very manageable. If preparation is needed, we use gentle techniques and can numb the area for comfort. Some mild sensitivity can happen temporarily, but it usually improves quickly.
Are veneers reversible?
Porcelain veneers often involve minor tooth preparation, which means the process may not be fully reversible. Composite veneers may be more conservative depending on the case. We will explain all details clearly before you decide to move forward.
