Tips for Choosing the Right Veneers for Your Smile

Home » Dentist » Tips for Choosing the Right Veneers for Your Smile

If your smile isn’t quite up to par, or if you just want to give it a little boost, then veneers could be the solution you’re looking for. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are attached to your teeth by an experienced dentist.

They can correct small chips and cracks in your tooth enamel, improve the appearance of discolored teeth, and cover dark spots caused by staining or aging.

But how do you know which type of veneer is right for you? Well, there are a few things to consider before deciding on which veneer teeth are best suited for your face shape and smile. In this article we’ll explore more about choosing the best veneers for you.

Consider Your Face Shape

There are a number of things to consider when choosing the right veneers for your smile. First, ask yourself what type of veneer will best fit your face shape. For example, if you have a square jaw, then it may be best to go with full-coverage porcelain veneers that will cover up the entire front surface of your tooth and help balance out your facial features.

In contrast, if you have an oblong face shape (think: oval) or prominent cheekbones, then less-obtrusive porcelain laminate or resin composite veneers might work better for you since they tend to be thinner and more natural looking than full-coverage porcelain ones.

Which Colour of Veneers is Right For you?

When you’re thinking about what colour of veneers is right for you, keep these tips in mind:

  • Consider your natural teeth colour. While veneers can help whiten your smile, choosing too bright of a color can give off an unnatural look. If you are getting a full set of veneers, then consider ones that are only a couple of shades lighter than natural teeth. Otherwise, make sure veneer teeth blend well with your natural teeth.
  • Consider your skin and hair colour. Determine which colour of porcelain crowns are best suited to your face shape and features. Those with darker features may not need as white of veneers because of the greater contrast.

How Much Do Veneers Cost in Toronto?

The price of veneers can vary depending on the treatment method required for their placement, as well as the type of material used for their construction. The cost may also vary depending on your dentist’s experience and skill level.

  • Veneers that are glued onto teeth are less expensive than porcelain fused to metal (PFM) or resin-bonded porcelain veneers.
  • Older techniques require more time, which makes them more expensive.
