A beautifully transformed smile, crafted to look and feel entirely natural.
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Made from porcelain or composite resin, they are designed to correct cosmetic concerns including stains, chips, uneven spacing, and minor shape irregularities, delivering a result that looks completely natural.
At Devon Dental Centre, we take a personalized approach to every veneer case. Before any treatment begins, we discuss your goals in detail, review your existing tooth structure, and design veneers that complement your facial features and natural colouring rather than simply following a template.
The result is a smile that feels like yours. Most patients describe their veneers as the most confident they have ever felt about their appearance, with a treatment process that is straightforward, comfortable, and completed in just a few appointments.
We offer two veneer materials at Devon Dental Centre, and the right choice depends on your goals, timeline, and budget.
The gold standard for cosmetic dentistry. Porcelain veneers are custom-fabricated in a dental lab, offering exceptional translucency, stain resistance, and a lifespan of 10 to 15 years or more with proper care. Ideal for patients seeking the most natural-looking, long-lasting result.
Applied directly in a single appointment, composite veneers offer a faster, more affordable option. While not as durable as porcelain, they are an excellent choice for minor corrections and can be polished, repaired, or replaced as needed.
Custom-designed to match the shape, size, and colour of your surrounding teeth. Most people will never know they are veneers.
Porcelain veneers resist coffee, tea, and red wine far better than natural enamel, keeping your smile bright for years.
Only a thin layer of enamel is removed to place a veneer, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
Staining, chipping, gaps, and shape irregularities can all be addressed in the same treatment, without multiple procedures.
Consultation and Smile Assessment
We begin with a full assessment of your teeth, bite, and cosmetic goals. We review your options, walk through what veneers can and cannot address, and confirm whether you are a suitable candidate before moving forward.
Tooth Preparation
A small, precise amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth to create space for the veneer. This ensures a flush, natural-looking fit. Temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth while your custom veneers are fabricated.
Custom Fabrication
Precise impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers are crafted to the exact shape, colour, and size specified during your consultation. This typically takes one to two weeks.
Bonding and Final Adjustments
Your permanent veneers are bonded securely to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. We check your bite and make any final adjustments to ensure a comfortable, long-lasting result you are completely happy with.
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates. Veneers work best for patients looking to correct cosmetic concerns such as staining, chips, minor gaps, or shape irregularities. If you have active decay, gum disease, or significant bite issues, those will need to be addressed first. We will give you a thorough assessment at your consultation.
Placing a veneer requires removing a thin layer of enamel, which is permanent. However, the amount removed is minimal, and the process preserves the majority of your natural tooth structure. Your teeth are protected by the veneer itself once bonded. We discuss this carefully with every patient during the consultation so there are no surprises.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. Composite veneers generally last 5 to 7 years. Avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects will help extend their lifespan. We will review care instructions with you at your final appointment.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should feel little to no discomfort during tooth preparation. Some patients experience mild sensitivity after the appointment, particularly while temporary veneers are in place. This resolves once the permanent veneers are bonded.
Veneers are generally considered a cosmetic procedure and are not covered under most standard dental insurance plans. However, coverage can vary depending on your policy. We recommend contacting your provider directly to confirm your specific benefits. We are happy to provide an itemized treatment estimate to support your inquiry.
The cost of veneers in Devon varies depending on the number of teeth being treated and the material chosen. Porcelain veneers are priced higher than composite due to the lab fabrication involved. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide and offer transparent pricing from your very first appointment. Book a consultation at Devon Dental Centre to receive a personalized estimate.
Veneers require the same care as your natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend your scheduled hygiene appointments. Avoid biting directly into very hard foods, and if you grind your teeth at night, a custom night guard will help protect your investment. With the right care, your veneers should stay beautiful for many years.
