What can I expect when getting porcelain veneers for my teeth?

By Dr. Stephen Gaines

Cosmetic Treatment for Teeth in Oakville Ontario Area

With porcelain veneers, you can achieve a perfect smile by correcting any imperfections in just a few steps. In fact, here at Sherwood Dental, we regularly speak with patients looking to get veneers for their teeth and improve their smiles' appearance. Below are the steps necessary to obtain porcelain veneers with our Oakville, Ontario team:

Consultation with Drs. Stephen Gaines and Arti Patel. The first step is to schedule an appointment with our dentists to discuss whether porcelain veneers are the right option for you. During this consultation, our providers will examine your teeth and determine if you have any underlying dental issues which need to be addressed before getting veneers.
Selecting a veneer. Next, our dentists will discuss the different types of porcelain veneers available to you and help you choose the best option for your needs. They will also explain the process, including any preparation that may be required for your teeth.
Preparation of teeth. Before placing veneers, a small layer of enamel may need to be removed from the surface of your teeth. This helps create a smooth and even surface on which the veneers can be placed.
Impressions of teeth.Once our dental team prepares the teeth, we take impressions to create customized veneers that fit perfectly on your teeth.
Bonding of veneers. During your next visit, our dental team will carefully place the veneers on your teeth using a special bonding agent. They will also ensure that the colour and fit are perfect before permanently bonding them in place.
Final adjustments. Drs. Stephen Gaines and Arti Patel may make some final adjustments for comfort and to ensure proper bite alignment.
Regular check-ups. It is critical that you attend your regular dental check-ups to maintain both the health of your veneers and overall oral health.

We are here to help you get the perfect smile.

The staff at Sherwood Dental have always been awesome. I never have to wait more than a few minutes for my appt, they are very prompt and efficient. They also always try to resolve my issues the first time I mention them. I feel that Dr. Gaines does not perform procedures that are not necessary, just to make money, as he has honestly told me before that I do not need certain things, when my previous dentist told me that I did (and Dr. Gaines told me why my other dentist may have suggested it, and why he did not necessary agree). Love these guys!

Fabulous Dental Practice - First off they value your time as much as you do. The entire team is happy to work there, which shows in the way they treat the clients. The equipment is top notch. I'm very happy even if they find a cavity.

About as much fun you can have with going to the dentist. The professional and caring attitude of the dentists, hygienists, and office staff make you feel like part of their family. And if you and the Argonauts are lucky, you might get to see the Grey Cup along with a few players they look after.
