Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells that cover the front of your teeth. At Luka Dental Care on Aldersbrook Road in London, Ontario, we make them for adults who want to fix stained, chipped or uneven front teeth. Each one is shaped to fit your smile.
Veneers are one of the treatments we offer as your cosmetic dentist in London, Ontario. For a small chip or gap, dental bonding takes one visit, and professional teeth whitening brightens teeth without covering them. Digital smile design lets you preview veneers, whitening or both before any work begins.
Veneers are ultra-thin layers of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance their appearance. They’re strong, stain-resistant, and carefully crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
At our dental office in London, ON, we most often recommend porcelain veneers because they offer a lifelike finish and long-lasting durability. Each veneer is custom-made to suit your smile goals, facial structure, and bite.
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic treatment that can address a range of aesthetic concerns. They’re often used as part of a smile makeover for patients who want a dramatically improved look without braces or extensive dental work, including:
Discolored or stained teeth that won’t respond to whitening
Chipped or cracked teeth
Minor spacing or gaps between teeth
Teeth that appear too small or worn down
Irregularly shaped teeth
Getting veneers at Luka Dental Care is a personalized, multi-step process designed to deliver the most natural-looking results.
We begin with a smile analysis and talk through your goals. We’ll take photos, examine your teeth, and determine whether veneers are the right option.
We scan your teeth using intraoral imaging and may use digital smile design software to preview your potential results. You’ll have input on the shape, shade, and overall look.
We gently reshape the surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. This usually means removing a thin layer of enamel, thinner than a fingernail.
We’ll place temporary veneers while your custom ones are being crafted. This lets you “test drive” your new smile and make sure the look and feel are just right.
Once your permanent veneers are ready, we bond them in place and make any final adjustments. The result? A confident, natural-looking smile that feels like you.
At our practice in London, ON, we use digital tools and advanced materials to make the veneers process more comfortable, precise, and predictable.
Say goodbye to messy impressions
See your potential smile before committing
Ensures veneers blend with surrounding teeth
Require minimal tooth preparation
Allows greater customization and faster turnaround in some cases
With good care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer. They are bonded firmly to your teeth and resist stains well. Like natural teeth, they need daily brushing, flossing and regular checkups.
We recommend:
Avoiding biting into hard objects (like ice or pens)
Wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth
Using non-abrasive toothpaste to preserve the polish
Visiting our London dental office every 6 months for checkups
Veneers are ideal for patients with generally healthy teeth and gums who are looking to improve the appearance of their smile. During your consultation, we’ll walk through your dental history, smile goals, and available options so you can make the most informed decision. If you have any of the following, you’re likely a good candidate:
Minor cosmetic imperfections
A desire for a long-term solution
No active gum disease or significant decay
Realistic expectations
The cost of veneers depends on your smile, so we do not quote one price for everyone. It changes with how many teeth you want to cover and whether you choose porcelain or composite. Some teeth also need a filling or gum care first.
Before any treatment starts, we go over each step and its cost with you. Most insurance plans do not pay for cosmetic work. For a closer look at what moves the price, read how much veneers cost in London, Ontario.
Veneers are low maintenance, but that doesn’t mean no maintenance. Treat them like natural teeth, and they’ll serve you beautifully for years.
Veneer care tips:
Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
Floss gently but thoroughly to prevent gum inflammation
Avoid highly abrasive toothpaste or whitening pastes
Don’t use your teeth to open packages or chew ice
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth at night
Schedule regular checkups at our London, Ontario clinic
Veneers are one good fix among several. Bonding can repair a chip in one visit, and whitening may be all you need if colour is the worry. For bigger gaps or crooked teeth, SureSmile clear aligners may suit you better.
In cases where a tooth needs full structural reinforcement along with aesthetic improvement, a crown may be the most effective solution. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the pros, cons, and costs of each option so you can make the choice that’s right for your smile.
While veneers are an amazing solution for many people, they’re not for everyone. You may want to explore alternatives if you:
Have active tooth decay or gum disease
Are prone to grinding or clenching and don’t wear a night guard
Want a completely reversible option
Have severely misaligned teeth better suited for orthodontics
We will always tell you what is best for your teeth, even if it is not veneers.
At Luka Dental Care in London, Ontario, we never rush your veneers. From the first scan to the final polish, we fine-tune each detail with you. The goal is a smile that looks natural on you.
You’ll never feel pressured, rushed, or like just another case. We take your goals seriously and make the process easy to understand and even enjoyable.
