What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They're one of the most versatile and transformative tools in cosmetic dentistry, capable of correcting chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, uneven teeth, and minor misalignment — all in as few as two appointments.
At Tooth Bar, every set of veneers is custom-designed and hand-crafted in our in-house dental lab. This gives us complete control over the shade, shape, translucency, and fit of each veneer, resulting in a smile that looks entirely natural and uniquely yours.
Who Are Veneers For?
Veneers are an excellent option for patients who want to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once. If you have teeth that are chipped, worn down, slightly crooked, gapped, or permanently stained beyond what whitening can correct, veneers can resolve all of these issues simultaneously.
They're also a popular choice for patients who want a complete smile redesign. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, a career change, or simply want to invest in how you present yourself, veneers deliver a dramatic yet natural-looking transformation.
Ideal candidates have healthy teeth and gums with sufficient enamel for bonding. During your consultation, we'll assess whether veneers are the best path to your goals or whether an alternative like bonding or crowns might serve you better.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
The most immediate benefit of porcelain veneers is the transformation itself. In just two appointments, you can go from a smile you hide to one you can't stop showing off. Veneers address multiple imperfections at once, which is something no other single treatment can do as effectively.
Porcelain is also the ideal material for cosmetic dental work. It reflects light the same way natural tooth enamel does, making veneers virtually indistinguishable from real teeth. It's highly resistant to staining from coffee, wine, and other common culprits, so your smile stays bright longer than with natural enamel alone.
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or more, making them a long-term investment in your appearance and confidence.
Our Veneer Process
Your veneer journey begins with a detailed consultation where we discuss your goals, take photos and impressions, and design your new smile together. We may create a digital mockup so you can preview your results before any work begins.
At your first treatment appointment, we gently prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel (typically less than a millimeter) to make room for the veneers. Impressions are taken and sent directly to our in-house lab, where your custom veneers are crafted. You'll wear comfortable temporary veneers while your permanent set is being made.
At your second appointment, we remove the temporaries, check the fit, shape, and color of your new veneers, and bond them permanently to your teeth. The entire process from consultation to final placement typically takes two to three weeks.
Because our lab is in-house, communication between your dentist and the lab technician is seamless, and adjustments can be made in real time.
Porcelain Veneers FAQs
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years. Some patients enjoy their veneers for 20 years or more with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
Do veneers look natural?
Absolutely. Our in-house lab custom-crafts each veneer to match your facial features, skin tone, and desired shade. Most people won't be able to tell you have veneers.
Does getting veneers hurt?
The preparation process is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report little to no discomfort during or after the procedure.
Can I still eat normally with veneers?
Yes. Porcelain veneers are strong and durable. We recommend avoiding biting directly into very hard objects like ice or using your teeth as tools, but otherwise you can eat normally.
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Calgary?
The cost varies based on the number of veneers and complexity of your case. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation and can discuss payment options.
