Looking for a solution that improves both the appearance and function of your smile? The cosmetic dental industry has evolved to offer solutions to almost every problem related to oral hygiene, tooth troubles, and smile aesthetics. And yet, most people may be unaware of the most advanced solution in smile correction today.
At Midtown Dental, we offer durable dental veneers designed to conceal damaged, chipped, or discolored teeth, resulting in a smile that is natural-looking, yet brighter, more symmetrical, and stain-resistant. Here’s a deeper look at what dental veneers are, the veneer placement procedure, and the benefits of getting dental veneers in Toronto, ON.
What are Dental Veneers?
To best understand what veneers are, think of a tooth crown or cap you receive after a root canal or other dental surgery. The cap covers and protects your tooth to help you eat normally and avoid further damage.
Dental veneers are similar laminates, made of thinly sheathed tooth-coloured material to cover the surface area of your tooth. They are designed to protect your teeth and improve their appearance. Dr. Ramlaggan bonds the veneer to your teeth to change their shape, colour, size, and alignment. Dental veneer placement is usually a cosmetic procedure, but Dr. Ramlaggan also recommends veneers for those who need protection and support for damaged or injured teeth.

If you consider getting veneers on your teeth, you should know that the procedure will have many advantages:

The Dental Veneers Procedure
After your first consultation, the procedure involved in applying veneers is typically divided into three appointments:
Appointment 1 – Dr. Ramlaggan inspects your teeth, understands your dental history, and checks for any bite problems. Your dental team will talk to you about your smile aesthetics and the goals you want to achieve with your dental veneers.
Appointment 2 – Dr. Ramlaggan will prepare your teeth for the veneer in this sitting. Your second appointment involves taking moulds and trimming off the enamel to accommodate the thickness of the veneer. Once your dentist has taken an impression of your teeth, it is sent to a dental lab to prepare the veneer.
Appointment 3 – The veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth.
6 Reasons to Consider Dental Veneers
Patients who visit Midtown Dental for veneers often experience several benefits. Veneers offer strength and support to weak teeth, giving your smile a brighter, more symmetrical look. Here are the top six reasons why you should consider getting veneers:
Quick, Pain-Free Procedure
Dr. Ramlaggan usually administers a numbing agent to the mouth to make the procedure of installing veneers as pain-free as possible. Depending on your teeth, the time needed for the procedure may vary. Usually, it is completed within 30 minutes to an hour.- Reshape Your Teeth & Get Perfect Symmetry
Inconsistencies in your smile may be the first thing people notice about you. It can make you feel self-conscious and less confident. Veneers can help you reshape your smile and get the perfect symmetry for an amazing smile. - Hiding Permanent Stains
Teeth whitening, including bleaching treatments, may not clear away years of staining. Dental veneers can help conceal your teeth to create a radiant smile if you have stained teeth. - Fewer Cavities
Veneers cannot help repair decay or damage to your teeth. It is advisable to get your tooth decay completely treated before installing veneers. Once installed, veneers will protect your teeth from further damage and decay. Veneers can help you conceal chipped, broken, or damaged teeth. - Filling in the Missing Gaps
If you have gaps between two or more teeth, veneers can help fill them in. One way of fixing gaps in teeth is bonding. But veneering is also an effective way to fix gap teeth and get a flawless smile. - Longevity
Porcelain veneers are strong and damage-resistant. They are designed to last for a long time. Your dental veneers can last up to twenty or twenty-five years with proper care and maintenance. Only when your veneers start to show discolouration or cracks will you need to get them replaced.
