Dental veneers can fix common cosmetic flaws such as chipped teeth, stains or discolouration, gaps or spaces between teeth, and tooth size discrepancies. At Shoppingtown Dental, we offer two types of veneers that can repair and enhance your smile. Here's what you should know.
Composite Veneers Are a Quick and Affordable Option
Our dentists can use composite resin to repair small cosmetic flaws and enhance your smile. Composite resin is the same material we use for tooth-coloured dental fillings, so we can customise it to blend flawlessly with your teeth to improve your smile.
Composite veneers in Doncaster tend to be less expensive than porcelain veneers, and we can typically complete your new smile during one appointment at our clinic.
Porcelain Veneers Can Create Your Dream Smile
Porcelain veneers are thin slivers of customised porcelain that cover the front surface of your teeth and can change their size, shape, and shade for a complete smile transformation. Our dentists bond porcelain veneers directly to your teeth, and they are considered a permanent option.
The process for completing porcelain veneers differs from composite veneers, as we are relying on a trusted dental lab to handcraft your restorations. This process can take two to three weeks and requires two appointments at our dental clinic.
During the first visit, we prepare your teeth for their veneers by taking impressions and creating temporary veneers for you to wear while the dental lab creates your permanent restorations. After the lab completes your veneers, you'll return to Shoppingtown Dental to have our dentists permanently place them and make any adjustments to ensure you have excellent biting and chewing function.
Smile Flaws That Dental Veneers Eliminate
Whether you're choosing composite or porcelain veneers, some of the concerns they can cover are:
- Oddly sized or misshapen teeth
- Excessively worn teeth
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Slight tooth misalignment
- Spaces or gaps between teeth
