Dental veneers: get a beautiful smile
A harmonious, bright smile can have a positive impact on self-confidence. If you want to correct minor imperfections, improve the appearance of your teeth, or even out your smile, dental veneers are a quick cosmetic solution.
At Havre Dentaire, located in the Technopôle Angus in Montreal, we offer two types of dental veneers: composite veneers, applied directly in the chair, and porcelain veneers, known for their durability and natural appearance.
This is a cosmetic restoration that covers the visible surface of the tooth (the front), designed to correct defects in color, shape, or position. This minimally invasive technique produces quick, natural-looking results with a bright smile.
Why choose dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells that are applied to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. They offer immediate aesthetic improvement while preserving the natural structure of the teeth.
They can be used to correct:
- Stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening;
- Cracked, chipped, or worn teeth;
- Slightly misaligned or spaced teeth;
- Asymmetry in the shape or size of the smile.
Types of dental veneers
We offer two veneer options, depending on your needs, expectations, and budget.
Composite veneers
A quick and economical solution
Composite veneers are applied directly in the clinic during a single appointment. The material is molded directly onto the tooth and then hardened using a special light.
Avantages :
- Quick procedure, completed in a single visit;
- Minimally invasive technique, no enamel removal;
- More affordable option than porcelain veneers
- Easy to repair or touch up in case of wear or breakage
Although they offer good aesthetic results, composite veneers have a shorter lifespan and can stain over time.
Porcelain veneers
A long-lasting and highly aesthetic result
Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a laboratory from a digital impression of your teeth. They are permanently bonded to the tooth for a natural look.
Avantages :
- Aesthetic and very natural results;
- High durability (more than 10 years with proper care);
- Increased resistance to food stains (coffee, tea, wine).
Tooth preparation:To ensure a perfect fit and good adhesion, a thin layer of enamel is removed before the porcelain veneers are applied. This step ensures that the veneers blend in well with your natural teeth. However, this makes porcelain veneers a permanent treatment, meaning that the veneers must be replaced at the end of their lifespan.
How does the treatment work?
Initial consultation and choice of veneer type
Your dentist will assess your smile and discuss your aesthetic goals with you to determine the most appropriate option.
Preparation and impression (for porcelain veneers)
If you opt for porcelain, we will take a digital impression after preparing the tooth by removing a thin layer of enamel.
Fitting of veneers
- Composite: direct application in a single visit.
- Porcelain: fitting during a second appointment, once the veneers have been manufactured in the laboratory.
Adjustments and care recommendations
Adjustments are made to ensure optimal comfort. You will also receive personalized advice on how to maintain the appearance of your veneers.
