Are you tired of hiding your smile in photos or during online meetings? When you don't feel confident about your smile, it's always on your mind! At Bays Dental Clinic, we believe everyone deserves to have a smile they love, and we can help you achieve that goal. 

Today, we'll discuss why porcelain veneers may be the right choice for transforming your smile. However, there are several treatment options in cosmetic dentistry, and the first step in determining which is right for you is to arrange a booking for an evaluation with one of our dentists. 

Here's what you should know about porcelain veneers in McCrae.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are made of micro-thin slivers of porcelain that cover the front surface by bonding directly to your tooth. Our porcelain is custom-shaded to blend into your smile or completely transform it with six to eight veneers. Since the veneer covers your tooth, it can also change the size and shape of it. Some of the smile flaws veneers can correct are:

  • Gaps between teeth
  • Tooth size or shape discrepancies
  • Worn teeth
  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Stained or discoloured teeth
  • Slight tooth misalignment

Our dentists can use veneers to repair one or two teeth, or we can work closely with you to use a few of them to complete your smile transformation. 

Taking Care of Porcelain Veneers 

If you choose veneers for your smile, you'll be happy to know that caring for them is simple. You'll brush and floss normally like you were used to doing before your veneers. Just like with your natural teeth, you'll want to avoid biting directly into hard foods. Instead, cut hard foods like apples or raw carrots into smaller pieces before eating them. 

Our dentists would love to discuss porcelain veneers with you. You can request a booking online or speak with a Bays Dental team member by calling our clinic.
