What Are Dental Veneers?

At Westheights Dental Centre, Dr. Ghada Al-Shurafa matches every veneer to the patient’s natural tooth colour, shape, and facial symmetry for a result that looks like your own teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do veneers look natural?+
Yes. Veneers are custom-designed to match the colour, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
Are veneers permanent?+
Veneers are a long-term cosmetic solution and typically last many years with proper care. They are not reversible, since a small amount of enamel is removed to place them.
Do veneers damage natural teeth?+
Only a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation, which makes the procedure minimally invasive. Your dentist will explain what to expect for your specific case.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?+
Veneers can improve the appearance of mild misalignment without orthodontic treatment. More significant alignment issues may require orthodontics instead of or alongside veneers.
