A Complete Smile Makeover in a Single Visit
Dental veneers are porcelain shells custom-designed to cover your teeth and enhance their appearance. Unlike dental crowns, which are more invasive, veneers offer a minimally invasive solution that can often be applied in just one appointment.
If you have chipped, cracked, or stained teeth, or if you’re looking to close gaps between your teeth, veneers might be the perfect option for you. At Guelph Family Dentistry, our skilled dentists carefully craft veneers to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a beautiful, healthy-looking smile. Not only do veneers enhance aesthetics, but they also help protect your natural teeth underneath.

The Benefits of Dental Veneers
Dental veneers offer several fantastic advantages for addressing minor cosmetic dental issues, often making them a preferred option over treatments like braces or dental crowns.
An Improved Smile
With dental veneers, you can achieve a brighter, whiter, and more even smile that can last for up to fifteen years.
Minimally Invasive
Veneers require minimal alteration to your natural teeth, making them less invasive compared to crowns and other cosmetic procedures. The treatment can often be completed in just a single visit, saving you time and discomfort.
Less Expensive
Dental veneers are a budget-friendly cosmetic option. While they offer a durable and natural appearance, veneers are more affordable than many other treatments, making them an attractive solution for enhancing your smile without breaking the bank.
The Dental Veneer Process
Consultation
Your dental veneer journey begins with a consultation at our Guelph office. During this visit, Dr. Al-Azzawi will assess the health of your teeth and gums. If any issues are detected, a treatment plan may be suggested to address them, ensuring your veneers have a healthy foundation. Once your oral health is confirmed, Dr. Al-Azzawi will discuss whether dental veneers are the best option to achieve your desired smile.
Preparing the Teeth
To place a dental veneer, a small amount of enamel is gently removed to create a textured surface for the veneer’s adhesion. Dr. Al-Azzawi will apply a local anesthetic to numb the area and ensure your comfort. After numbing, the enamel is carefully removed, and a detailed impression of your tooth is taken to ensure the veneer will fit perfectly with the shape and contour of your surrounding teeth, giving you a natural, seamless look.
Creating and Placing the Veneer
While your custom permanent veneers are being crafted, you’ll be fitted with temporary veneers to ensure your comfort. Once the permanent veneers are ready, we’ll remove the temporary veneers and bond the new veneers to your teeth. Dr. Al-Azzawi will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and a smooth blend with your natural teeth, followed by a final polish to give your smile a flawless finish.
Caring for Your Veneers
To keep your veneers in top condition, care for them just like your natural teeth—brush and floss twice a day and visit us for routine dental cleanings every six months. With good care, your veneers can last up to 15 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain veneers, often referred to as “traditional veneers”, are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. These veneers are crafted from high-quality porcelain, which makes them durable, lifelike, and virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Additionally, porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, helping your smile stay bright and beautiful for years.
The number of veneers you need depends on your personal preferences and the goals you have for your smile. Most people opt to place veneers on the teeth that are most visible when they smile. Our team will help you determine the best approach to achieve the look you desire.
With proper care, veneers can last between 10 to 15 years. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are key to maintaining their longevity and keeping your smile looking great.
Caring for your veneers is easy. Just treat them like your natural teeth:
- Brush twice a day using nonabrasive toothpaste
- Floss daily
- Use an antiseptic mouthwash once or twice a day
- Avoid sugary or acidic foods and drinks, especially before bed
- Schedule routine cleanings and check-ups every six months to ensure they stay in excellent condition
Yes, you can eat most foods with veneers. However, it’s best to avoid very hard or sticky foods to prevent damage. You should also avoid chewing non-food items such as pens or ice.
Most people experience minimal side effects, if any. Some might feel slight tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures initially, but this typically subsides within a few days after getting the veneers.
