Have you ever thought about giving your smile a fresh start?If you’re unhappy or even embarrassed by teeth that are stained, cracked, chipped, or misaligned, Capital Smiledocs Dental in Ottawa and Stittsville has a cosmetic solution that can help—porcelain veneers.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, ceramic shells of material – called veneers They are placed over the front surface of your teeth to hide imperfections. They’re very natural looking, and are colored to fit in alongside your natural teeth – under the guidance of a professional cosmetic dentist at Capital Smiledocs Dental in Ottawa and Stittsville , your new veneers will be virtually indistinguishable from real teeth. Plus, your new teeth will be just as durable as real teeth.

What’s more, the porcelain veneers can be shaded to match surrounding teeth and are designed with your facial features as well as your skin, hair, and eye color in mind.

Here’s how the porcelain veneers process works.

When you come in, one of our cosmetic dentists will talk with you about exactly how you want your smile to look. Then, once we have an idea of how we’ll be helping you, we’ll take an impression of your teeth, photos of your teeth, face shape and complexion, hair colour and a record of how your teeth fits together.  These important information are sent to our lab. The lab will create a model showing how your teeth will look like with the customized veneers using the crucial information we collected.  If you are happy with the smile design, we will prepare your teeth for the porcelain veneers and take a detailed impression of your teeth.  Temporary veneers will be placed on your teeth so that you can see how they look and feel inside your mouth.  This allows you to “test drive” and try the porcelain veneers out.  When your veneers have been finished, all that’s left for us to do is apply them to your teeth, giving your smile the fresh start you’ve dreamed of.
