What are Porcelain Veneers Near You?
Initial consultation: You will schedule a consultation with our West Edmonton dentist. During your consultation, they will evaluate your teeth and gums to determine if you qualify for veneers. You can discuss all your smile goals at this time.
Preparation: Our dentist will shave off a small portion of the tooth structure to prepare for veneers. This helps your porcelain veneers blend seamlessly with your remaining teeth.
Porcelain veneers: Once our dentist has finished preparing your teeth for veneers in West Edmonton, AB T6M 1G9, they will take images and impressions of your mouth. These images and impressions will be sent to a dental laboratory near you and used to fabricate your custom porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneer application: When your dental veneers are ready, each porcelain veneer is affixed to each tooth using a strong adhesive. Our dentist will assess the colour and fit of your porcelain veneers at this time.
