Whether you want to enhance your smile for professional, personal, or social reasons, we’re here to support you on your smile improvement journey.

Whether you’re dealing with discolouration, chips, or uneven spacing, veneers in Pitt Meadows can help transform your smile into one you’ll love to share!

Why Veneers Matter

A healthy smile isn’t just about oral health – it’s about how you feel when you look in the mirror. Veneers can:

• Correct cosmetic flaws like stains, teeth, and worn edges.
• Mask smile imperfections like broken or misshapen teeth
• Provide a natural look that blends seamlessly with your other teeth.

According to the Canadian Dental Association (CDA), veneers are a reliable and effective cosmetic option for achieving a balanced, natural-looking smile.

What to Expect at Meadows Dental Group

Getting veneers at our Pitt Meadows practice is a straightforward process:

1. Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your smile, and determine if veneers are the right choice for you.
2. Smile Design: Our team will help you choose the shade and shape of veneers that match well with your natural teeth.
3. Preparation: For composite veneers, similar to the process for bonding, our dentist will start by applying a mild chemical to the front of the tooth. This makes the surface a little rough, which helps the composite resin stick to the tooth’s enamel. For porcelain veneers, a thin layer of enamel is strategically removed from your teeth to make room for the veneers.
4. Impressions: If you choose porcelain veneers, we will make a mould of your teeth, which is used to custom-make your veneers.
5. Temporary Veneers: While your permanent porcelain veneers are being made, our dentist may place temporary ones. These are very fragile and need to be treated gently while eating and cleaning.
6.  Bonding: Your custom veneers are securely bonded to your teeth. During your next visit, we will remove the temporary veneers and apply a mild chemical to your teeth to help the new porcelain veneers stick better. The veneers are then cemented to your teeth one by one. If needed, temporary veneers are placed while your custom ones are crafted. The veneers are then cemented to your teeth one by one. For composite veneers, the resin is then applied to your tooth in layers, with a bright light used to harden each layer. Once the final layer is hardened, your dentist will shape and polish it to create a smooth, natural-looking tooth.
7. Final Polish: We make final adjustments for comfort and appearance.

The process usually requires 2–3 visits, and the results can last many years with proper care. Remember: It’s important to keep in mind that veneers aren’t a replacement for your daily brushing and flossing routine.

Link Between Oral & Overall Health

While veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment, the foundation for them must be healthy teeth and gums. The CDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have noted that gum disease and untreated decay can affect not only your mouth but your entire body. For this reason, veneer candidates must have healthy teeth that are free of decay before receiving this cosmetic treatment. Studies have even linked poor oral health to conditions like heart disease and complications with diabetes.

How Often / Who Needs Veneers

Veneers are a suitable choice if you:

• Have deeply stained or discoloured teeth.
• Want to fix chips, cracks, or uneven edges.
• Prefer to close small gaps without braces.
• Desire a long-term cosmetic solution.

This cosmetic option is not recommended for patients who clench or grind their teeth, as the thin veneers can peel, chip, or even break. Depending on their dental health, some patients may be better suited for bonding or crowns. During your consultation, our team will help you decide on the most ideal path to achieve your goals.

At-Home Tips Between Visits

To keep your veneers in top shape:

• Brush and Floss Daily: It’s absolutely essential to continue brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing (or using an interdental cleaner) once daily, just like you would with your natural teeth. Keeping your veneered teeth clean is key!
• Limit Staining Foods and Drinks: Foods and drinks with dark pigments, like coffee, red wine, or dark sauces, can still stain your natural teeth. Try to brush or rinse your mouth with water after consuming them.
• Avoid Biting Hard Objects: Porcelain veneers can chip or break if you’re not careful with extremely hard foods. You should definitely avoid biting down on things like fingernails, ice cubes, or hard candy.

These habits protect your veneers and help your natural teeth and gums stay healthy.

Signs You May Need Veneers Now

Deep Dive: Porcelain vs. Composite Veneers

There are two main types of veneers:

• Porcelain Veneers: These are a more durable option and are designed to be stronger than composite veneers. They are also highly resistant to stains and will not change color over time. While they often require two or more visits to complete, they provide a truly natural and lifelike look.
• Composite Veneers: Made from a resin material that is applied directly to the teeth, composite veneers can be matched to your natural tooth color. This process may require less enamel to be removed, but the composite material is not as resistant to stains or wear as porcelain.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option works well with your goals, budget, and lifestyle.

Affordability & Insurance

While veneers are often considered a cosmetic procedure, many patients find them a worthwhile investment. Dental insurance may not cover veneers, but our office offers a variety of payment options to make treatment affordable. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your budget so you can enjoy the confidence of a new smile. Our clinic is also a CDCP office to ensure that qualifying patients have access to customized care under one roof.
