Porcelain Veneers

Discolorations, chips, and gaps in your front teeth can detract from your smile’s radiance. We often selects porcelain veneers to hide flaws and produce a gorgeous, uniform smile. With a high resistance to stains, porcelain veneers produce sensational, long-lasting smiles for our patients.

At your initial visit, We will select veneers that match the size, coloring, and shape of your teeth. He will also prep your teeth and take measurements that are sent to the dental lab, where an expert ceramist handcrafts your porcelain veneers. You will leave our Vancouver City dental office with temporary veneers that will provide a preview of your new smile. After we receive your custom veneers from the lab, you will return so that We can make any needed adjustments and permanently bond the porcelain veneers to your teeth.

Lumineers

Porcelain veneers improve the shape, color, and size of front teeth to make over a smile. In most cases, traditional veneers require preparation of healthy tooth structure prior to placement. Patients with sensitive teeth shy away from veneers for this very reason.

We offer Lumineers, a no-preparation option that can create a natural and attractive smile for some patients. At your consultation, the doctor will let you know if Lumineers are a good option for your smile. If you have small or short teeth, Lumineers may be a great, minimally invasive solution for your smile makeover.

Metal-Free Dental Crowns

Do you have an old metal crown or filling that you feel ruins your whole smile because it’s so noticeable? Once upon a time, these were the standard in dentistry, but today, you have even more options to choose from that fit both your aesthetic and preventive desires. We offer custom-crafted, natural-looking, metal-free crowns that can be made from a variety of materials, including all-ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, gold, porcelain, and zirconia.

Gum Recontouring

When you look at your smile in the mirror, does it seem overtaken by gum tissue that’s covering up all of your beautiful pearly whites that you work so hard to keep healthy?

Using a soft tissue laser, We will remove any overgrown gum tissue to let more of your teeth show.

These therapies can be costly and time consuming, though. If you want to enjoy the benefits of a fresh, new smile today (at a fraction of the price of porcelain veneers), consider Snap-On Smile.

How Long Will It Take to Improve My Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry?

It depends! While a teeth whitening appointment can lighten your smile significantly in just one sitting, more complex treatments, like veneers, require multiple visits, which are spread out over the course of a couple of weeks. Plus, you’ll need to account for any preliminary treatments, like periodontal therapy or metal-free restorations. If you have a specific celebration or event coming up, don’t hesitate to let us know so we can get your smile in camera-ready condition by then!

Do I Need Braces If I Have Crooked Teeth?

Metal braces have helped countless patients throughout the years address everything from minor crowding to severely spaced-out teeth. While this continues to be an effective treatment option, it certainly isn’t the only one. Discreet alternatives, like Invisalign, are equally as successful, require no dietary restrictions, and can be removed at any time. Other cosmetic treatments, like veneers and direct bonding, can address minor orthodontic issues, like gapped teeth. Don’t worry – we will go over all of your treatment options with you at your initial consultation so you can confidently make a decision on which is best for you.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Cosmetic Dentistry?

Since cosmetic treatments are elective, dental insurance providers rarely cover the cost. There are some exceptions, however, like metal-free restorations. So, it’s always a good idea to read the fine print on your dental plan! Otherwise, we happily accept low-to-no interest financing through CareCredit and offer periodic specials to ensure cost doesn’t stand in your way of achieving the beautiful smile you’ve been dreaming of.
