Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can transform your smile with one procedure. From worn enamel to stains, the restorations make tooth defects pull a disappearing act.
Cosmetic concerns? Now you see them, now you don’t.
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells that cover the front and sides of the teeth, totally transforming the way your smile looks. They can mask a wide range of cosmetic issues, including chips, worn enamel, small spaces, mild misalignment, and stains.
At Kits Family Dental, our dentists combine extensive experience with artistry to digitally design custom restorations that meet your aesthetic goals. To find out if you’re a candidate for veneers, book an appointment with us today!
Look Stunning
Porcelain veneers are designed and milled especially for your smile, and they look and feel like natural teeth.
Save Time
Instead of treating cosmetic concerns individually, you can address them all with a single procedure.
Resist Stains and Breakage
The restorations are strong and durable. They resist staining and won’t break when you chew. With proper care, veneers can last decades.
What to expect when getting porcelain veneers
Step 1
When you visit us for porcelain veneers in Kitsilano, you’ll chat with a dentist about your concerns and goals. A team member will take quick, comfy digital impressions, and the dentist will use computerized treatment planning to design your new smile.
Step 2
The dentist will remove a tiny bit of enamel to ensure the veneers fit. Don’t worry, they’ll place temporary veneers to protect your teeth in the meantime. This also gives you a chance to test drive your new restorations and ensure you love how they look before getting your permanent veneers.
Step 3
While you’re trying out your temporaries, your final veneers will be fabricated by a dental lab based on our treatment plan. They’ll be the ideal shape, size, and color, and are even glazed to mimic the translucency of natural enamel.
Step 4
The dentist will gently remove your temporary veneers and make any needed adjustments. They’ll bond your permanent veneers to your teeth and then shape and polish them. You’ll leave our office with a brand new smile.
