Veneers and Laminates

Dental veneers and laminates are thin layers of materials bonded over the surface of your teeth. They are used to change the shape, lighten the shade, and improve the overall aesthetics of your teeth. Serenity Dental offers Winnipeg, Manitoba patients this effective dental procedure to give them a complete smile makeover. If there is damaged or lost structure in your tooth, veneers and laminates are also used to restore and replace them.

Porcelain veneers look and even feel natural. They allow you to eat, talk, and smile as you normally would. Porcelain has the same refractive index as enamel. Porcelain veneers do not change color. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco will not even stain them. Light passes through porcelain the same way as it would on human tooth. Dr. Mangat, Serenity Dental’s resident dentist, only offers the highest quality veneers. She customizes each one to make sure it blends well with the rest of your teeth.

Bonded veneers are another alternative. Dr. Mangat applies the same level of quality standards when it comes to the materials and the application. Short-term Adult Cosmetic Braces is a great option if you are only dealing with crowded or crooked teeth. This procedure is less aggressive and preserves your teeth’s natural enamel.

Taking care of your veneers is easy. Keep your teeth and gums clean by regularly brushing and flossing. Avoid heavy biting and putting pressure on your veneers so they will not crack or fracture. Chewing on ice cubes and hard candies, biting your fingernails, and holding hard object between your teeth can damage your veneers. If you are going to play sports, wear sportsguard to protect your teeth. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, put on a mouthguard or grindguard.
