Dental Veneers in Toronto
What Can
Dental Veneers Improve?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made restorations placed over the visible front surfaces of selected teeth to improve their appearance. They may be considered for teeth that are chipped, worn, unevenly shaped, mildly spaced, or affected by discolouration that may not respond as desired to teeth whitening.
At Beach Dental, your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and cosmetic goals before recommending veneers. Treatment is planned around the individual teeth being treated so the size, shape, colour, and proportions of the veneers complement your existing smile.
Are Dental Veneers
Right for Your Smile?
Veneers can address several cosmetic concerns at the same time, including tooth shape, colour, small chips, and minor gaps.
Beach Dental offers veneer options including composite veneers, which use tooth-coloured composite resin applied and shaped directly on the tooth. Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and cosmetic goals to determine which veneer approach may be appropriate for your smile.

What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin restorations placed over the visible front surface of selected teeth to change their appearance. They can modify characteristics such as tooth colour, shape, size, proportions, and minor spacing. Your dentist will assess your teeth and oral health to determine whether veneers are appropriate for the changes you would like to make.
What is the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth, while composite veneers use tooth-coloured resin that is applied and shaped directly on the tooth. Composite veneers can often be completed in one appointment, while porcelain veneers generally require more than one visit and typically resist staining longer.
Do veneers require shaving down my natural teeth?
Some veneer treatments require a small amount of enamel to be removed so the restoration can fit properly and look proportionate to the surrounding teeth. The amount of preparation varies depending on the tooth, veneer design, and desired change. Your dentist will explain how much tooth preparation is needed before treatment begins.
How long do dental veneers last?
Dental veneers can last for many years, but they are not considered permanent for life. Their longevity depends on factors such as the veneer material, your bite, oral hygiene, tooth grinding, diet, and everyday habits. Regular dental examinations help your dentist monitor both the veneers and the natural teeth supporting them.
How do I care for dental veneers?
Veneers should be cared for with regular brushing, cleaning between the teeth, and routine dental examinations. Avoid biting hard objects such as ice or using your teeth to open packaging, as these habits can damage restorations. If you grind or clench your teeth, your dentist may also discuss ways to help protect your veneers.
Can veneers become stained?
Veneer materials generally resist staining differently than natural tooth enamel, but the surrounding natural teeth can still change colour over time. The edges of restorations and underlying teeth also need proper care. Your dentist can explain how your veneer material responds to staining and recommend habits that help maintain your smile.
