Explore the Beauty of Porcelain Veneers
When considering the rejuvenation of your smile, porcelain veneers in Calgary offer a natural, lasting solution to achieve the smile of your dreams. These thin, durable porcelain shells are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, enhancing their colour, spacing, size, and shape.
Porcelain veneers are fabricated from an incredibly stain-resistant material that mimics the natural light-reflecting properties of real teeth to give you the most natural, life-like appearance to your new smile. With advances in 3D scanning technology and laboratory techniques, porcelain veneers have become a more conservative treatment option than they once were.
Combining Invisalign to create proper alignment and orientation of your teeth with veneers often provides the most conservative treatment option to enhance your smile with minimal and sometimes almost no tooth shaping required.

Seamless Perfection
At Smileworks Dental, our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care and personalized treatment. We work closely with you and our dental laboratory partners to design veneers that complement your unique facial features and your vision for your smile.
The veneer process typically takes two to three appointments. We begin with a consultation and smile design, prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel, take precise impressions, and place temporary veneers while your permanent ones are being crafted.
At your final appointment, we bond the custom porcelain veneers to your teeth and make any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit and bite. The transformation is immediate — you will leave our Calgary clinic with a completely new smile.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are an excellent option if you are looking to address one or more of the following: severely stained or discoloured teeth that do not respond to whitening, chipped or cracked front teeth, irregular tooth shapes or sizes, small gaps between teeth, or slightly misaligned teeth.
Good candidates for veneers have healthy teeth and gums with no active decay or gum disease. If there are any underlying dental health issues, we address these first before proceeding with cosmetic treatment.
Patients who grind their teeth (bruxism) may be recommended to wear a night guard to protect their veneers. We will evaluate all relevant factors during your consultation to ensure veneers are the right choice for your smile goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do porcelain veneers last? With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years or more. Avoiding habits like biting your nails, chewing on pens, or eating very hard foods will help extend their lifespan.
Do veneers damage natural teeth? Minimal enamel removal is required to place veneers. This process is irreversible, which is why we discuss it thoroughly during consultation. Modern minimal-prep veneers remove even less tooth structure than traditional veneers.
Are veneers covered by insurance? Porcelain veneers are generally considered a cosmetic procedure and are not covered by most dental insurance plans. Our team can provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss financing options to help make veneers accessible.
