Dental Veneers

If you are looking to permanently enhance the shape, size, or shade of your teeth, ultra-thin porcelain dental veneers offer an exceptional, minimally invasive solution. At Synergy Centre Dental, located in Northwest London, Ontario, Dr. Octavian Tetelbaum custom-crafts stunning, natural-looking porcelain veneers to deliver dramatic smile transformations with beautiful longevity.

Veneers are thin, durable shells of medical-grade ceramic that are custom-bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Because Dr. Tetelbaum approaches cosmetic dentistry with an engineer’s eye for precise detail and design, every veneer treatment is meticulously planned to match your unique facial features, bite, and personality.

The Perfect Solution for a Wide Range of "Smile Challenges"

Porcelain veneers are highly versatile and can correct multiple cosmetic flaws simultaneously. Many of our patients throughout the London area choose veneers to resolve issues such as:

• Gaps & Spacing: Quickly close gaps between teeth without braces.
• Severe Discoloration: Cover deep internal stains that do not respond to whitening.
• Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Restore structural appearance and smooth rough edges.
• Worn or Aged Enamel: Lengthen teeth that have been shortened by grinding or age.
• Misshapen or Small Teeth: Create a uniform, balanced smile proportion.
• Slight Misalignments: Correct minor crowding or crookedness instantly.
• A Narrow Smile Line: Widen your smile to beautifully fill out your facial profile.

What to Expect: The Dental Veneers Process at Synergy Centre

Achieving your dream smile with porcelain veneers, minimal-prep veneers, or Lumineers is a collaborative process designed to ensure your absolute satisfaction before the final bonding takes place.

Step 1: Consultation & Digital Smile Design

Your journey begins with an initial consultation where Dr. Tetelbaum assesses your oral health and cosmetic goals. To help you visualize your final results before treatment even commences, we create a custom smile wax-up—a physical and digital preview of your new smile design.

Step 2: Conservative Enamel Preparation & Impressions

Once you approve the smile design, your teeth are gently prepared. Dr. Tetelbaum minimizes enamel reduction, removing only a microscopic layer from the front of the tooth to ensure the veneer sits flush and feels completely natural. We then take a precise impression to send to our specialized aesthetic dental lab partner.

Step 3: Custom Shading & Temporary Veneers

While the specialized dental lab handcrafts your permanent restorations (which takes approximately 10 business days), we may fabricate and temporarily cement high-quality temporary veneers. This protects your teeth and allows you to test-drive your new smile design. For absolute perfection in color selection and shading, you may be invited to visit the dental lab for personal accuracy matching.

Step 4: Final Try-In & Permanent Bonding

When your permanent custom veneers arrive, they are carefully tried in. We confirm that the fit, shape, shade, and color are exactly what you desired. Once you enthusiastically approve, Dr. Tetelbaum uses advanced adhesive dentistry techniques to permanently bond the veneers to your teeth. A quick follow-up visit may be scheduled to make final bite adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneers

How long do porcelain veneers last?

With diligent home care, regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups, high-quality porcelain veneers can easily last 10 to 15 years, or even longer. While the ceramic material itself is entirely immune to decay, the underlying tooth structure still requires protection from cavities and gum recession.

What is the difference between porcelain veneers and Lumineers?

Traditional porcelain veneers require a minimal reduction of the tooth's surface enamel to ensure a seamless, natural-looking fit. Lumineers and minimal-prep veneers are ultra-thin alternatives that can sometimes be applied directly over the teeth with little to no enamel removal. Dr. Tetelbaum will evaluate your teeth to recommend the best option for your bite and aesthetic goals.

Do dental veneers stain over time?

No. High-quality laboratory ceramic is highly highly resistant to stains, far more so than natural tooth enamel. You can comfortably enjoy coffee, tea, and red wine without worrying about discoloring your new veneers, though regular hygiene visits are still recommended to maintain the surrounding teeth and gums.
