Veneers
Teeth compromised by wear, chips, and minor misalignment can be embarrassing and make you feel self-conscious about sharing your smile.
Veneers from Vitacare Dental Centre in Coquitlam, BC, can conceal cosmetic flaws, giving your smile symmetry and a healthy appearance.
So what makes porcelain veneers such an effective cosmetic treatment?
Take a Look at How Veneers Fit into Your Smile
How Do I Know If I'm a Good Candidate for Veneers?
It is important to keep in mind that dental veneers require permanent alteration to the structure of any treated tooth. Any tooth treated with a porcelain veneer will require some kind of restoration moving forward. For the right candidates, minimal-prep veneers are a reversible alternative.
Enough Enamel
Tooth enamel must be removed for your dental veneers to achieve a natural appearance. That means that patients interested in veneers must still have a sufficient amount of enamel already so that some can still be removed safely.
No Grinding
If you grind your teeth, it can damage veneers and undermine the results of your treatment. For mild to moderate cases of bruxism, an oral appliance can protect your veneers, but more extreme cases may require resolving the underlying issue before moving forward.
Minor Misalignment
Veneers are a flexible cosmetic dentistry treatment that can conceal small gaps and minor misalignments much faster than traditional orthodontic options for patients on a tight timetable. However, severely crooked teeth or larger gaps are oftentimes better treated with orthodontics, like Invisalign®.
Good Oral Health
Patients must have good oral health before receiving dental veneers and other cosmetic treatments. Ongoing oral issues can drastically reduce the lifespan of your veneers and undo the various benefits they provide. We can always place veneers once you have recovered from other essential treatments.
Previewing Veneer Results What Will My Smile Look Like?
/
At Vitacare Dental Centre, we want patients to know what their results will look like before they get porcelain veneers. We put a lot of effort into pre-visualizing treatment, including photos, mock wax-ups, and 3D modeling. This helps patients make informed decisions about their cosmetic dentistry options, which leads to realistic expectations and higher rates of satisfaction.

Boosted Self-Confidence

Porcelain Veneer Cost Factors
Several factors impact the price of veneers at our Coquitlam, BC, dental practice, including:
Materials such as stacked and pressed ceramic may not last as long as lithium disilicate or zirconia veneers. Stacked and pressed ceramic veneers may also require replacement sooner than the more expensive options. With this in mind, lithium disilicate and zirconia veneers are actually a better value in the long term.
With fewer steps in the process and a lower overall cost of materials due to their size, minimal-prep veneers are slightly less expensive than traditional porcelain veneers. While the upfront costs are slightly lower, their reduced thickness and strength mean that minimal-prep veneers generally do not last as long as traditional veneers.

While getting porcelain veneers is painless, patients may have issues with anxiety while undergoing dental work. A bad experience with a past dentist can lead to anxiety with other dentists later on. This is why Vitacare Dental Centre offers sedation dentistry to the Coquitlam community. Carefully supervised sedation will help you remain totally relaxed throughout the dental veneer procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers From Patients in the Coquitlam, BC, Area
How much do veneers cost?
The cost of veneers can range from $900-$2,500, but this price will vary depending on a number of circumstances such as the materials and number of veneers. For a more accurate prediction of your costs, you can receive a customized quote during a cosmetic dentistry consultation with our dentists.
Can you get a full set of veneers?
Yes, but a full set of veneers is not the same as covering a full set of teeth. Since veneers are cosmetic in nature, we only place them on your front (anterior) teeth. Molars and other posterior teeth will not benefit from veneers, and other treatments like crowns and orthodontics are more suited for fixing issues in the back row.
Do veneers stay white?
While veneers can be made of stain-resistant materials like porcelain, they are still susceptible to becoming discolored over time. Patients should practice good hygiene habits and brush twice a day to keep their veneers as white as possible. Avoiding dark drinks like coffee and other staining foods can also prolong the bright shade of your new veneers.
Are veneers permanent?
Yes and no. The veneer treatment is permanent because you can't restore enamel once it is removed to place veneers. Even though the shells placed over the top of your teeth can last up to 25 years or more, they are not permanent. Your veneers will wear down over time and need to be replaced at some point.
Does veneer placement hurt?
No. Veneers are a practically painless dentistry treatment. Only a small amount of enamel is removed, and most patients do not experience any discomfort. If you have sensitive teeth, we can use a local anesthetic or sedation options to ensure you are completely comfortable during treatment.
I have some oral health issues that must be addressed before veneer placement. Can you help?
Yes! Our Coquitlam dental practice offers a wide range of general and restorative treatment options like root canals, full mouth reconstruction, and more to help you achieve optimal oral health to qualify for dental veneers.
Restorative Options Available
While we want all of our patients to achieve the beautiful smile they have always dreamed of, some are not initially good candidates for cosmetic dentistry treatments. Issues like tooth decay and gum disease can impact your oral health and function. These issues can be addressed with restorative dentistry treatments.
Oftentimes, these treatments not only improve your oral health and function, but also improve the appearance of your smile, too. In some cases, we can also combine cosmetic and restorative treatments to help you achieve your goals for a smile that's both beautiful and healthy.
Alternative Treatments
Dental Bonding
Bonding is a reversible procedure that can fix minor flaws like cracks and discoloration. However, bonding typically does not last as long as veneers, and it does not look as lifelike.
Dental Crowns
Porcelain crowns cover a tooth to fix extensive damage and decay. While crowns can fix several cosmetic issues, they preserve less of your natural tooth compared to veneers.
Invisalign
Invisalign® trays can correct minor to moderate misalignment in your teeth, but they do not fix chips, cracks, or discoloration as veneers do.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening can remove surface stains to brighten your teeth. However, teeth whitening does not work on stains inside a tooth. Veneers can hide this type of discoloration.
