Porcelain Veneers in Edmonton, Alberta

Porcelain veneers, also known as dental veneers, are a fast and simple way to change your smile from boring to brilliant. Dental veneers can straighten or whiten teeth and repair cracks or chips to give you the bright, beaming smile you desire. Porcelain veneers are similar to caps, but a more advanced technique is needed to bond them to your teeth. Although dental veneers can be made of composite resin materials, Dr. Podilsky prefers porcelain veneers in his Edmonton, Alberta office. They are made of a thin porcelain shell, and are custom-made to slide easily over your teeth. They are long-lasting and resist stains, ensuring your smile will stay beautiful and radiant for years.

Placement of Your Porcelain Veneers

Once you and Dr. Podilsky have determined that dental veneers are the best cosmetic dentistry option for your smile, he will begin by removing a small amount of enamel from the surface of the teeth to be treated. Then a model of your teeth will be made and sent to a laboratory for the creation of your porcelain veneers. Dr. Podilsky may decide to place temporary veneers on your teeth until your next visit to his Edmonton, Alberta offices.

At your last visit, the porcelain veneers will be fitted to your teeth and bonded with a tooth colored cement. A light is used to activate the cement, causing it to harden quickly. Excess cement will then be removed and any final adjustments to your dental veneers will be made.
