We prioritize your comfort throughout the entire process of receiving porcelain veneers. To ensure a comfortable experience, we gently prepare your teeth by removing a minimal amount of enamel (typically only 0.3 to 0.5 millimetres). This preparation step is often performed under local anesthesia so that you do not feel discomfort during the procedure.
While the thin layer of enamel is being removed to ensure a precise fit, our goal is to maintain as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. After this preparation, we fit you with temporary veneers to protect your teeth while your custom porcelain restorations are being crafted.
At our recently upgraded clinic in New Westminster, we provide a judgement free space where your comfort and education come first. If you have questions about the process or your specific needs, we invite you to Book Appointment for a consultation so we can discuss how to best care for your smile.
