What veneers do
Veneers are very thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve how they look and correct small imperfections. They suit cracks, chips, blemishes and discoloration, and they can also correct wide gaps and teeth of different lengths.
Caring for veneers
Veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic procedure, so look after them: brush and floss every day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste, and keep your six-month exams and cleanings so the team can check them.
What patients say
Google reviews that mention this, word for word.
I had a routine cleaning and assessment for taking care of a cavity hiding beneath a veneer As always, my hygienist was friendly, caring, gentle and kind. All staff was smiling and welcoming from the front desk to dental assistant to the dentist. When discussing a future procedure, the dentist explained thoroughly. Would definitely recommend
