At Avalon Dental in St. John’s, we provide custom porcelain veneers to help patients achieve brighter, more confident smiles. Veneers are thin, durable shells that cover the front surface of your teeth, correcting imperfections such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignment. Designed to look and feel natural, porcelain veneers are a long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile.

Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry options because they offer both beauty and durability. With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or more. Patients choose veneers because they:

  • Mimic the natural look and feel of teeth
  • Resist staining better than natural enamel
  • Require minimal preparation compared to crowns
  • Correct multiple concerns at once
  • Instantly boost confidence with a brighter, more uniform smile

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers may be a good option if you:

  • Want to fix chipped, discoloured, or uneven teeth
  • Have small gaps or minor misalignment
  • Have healthy teeth and gums with no active decay
  • Are committed to regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits

If discoloration is your main concern, teeth whitening may also be worth exploring.

They may not be recommended if you grind your teeth heavily, prefer a reversible option, or have significant dental damage that requires other treatment. During your consultation, we’ll help determine if veneers are the best solution for you.

Consultation

During the initial visit, your dentist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and discuss your aesthetic goals.
They will explain how veneers can address your specific concerns, such as discoloration, gaps, or uneven teeth, and show you potential outcomes.

Preparation

To ensure the veneers fit seamlessly, a small layer of enamel is carefully removed from the front surface of the teeth. This step is minimally invasive and ensures a natural appearance once the veneers are placed.

Custom Veneers

Impressions are taken and sent to a lab to craft your custom porcelain veneers.

Placement

At your next appointment, the dentist will temporarily place the veneers to evaluate their fit, shape, and color, making any necessary adjustments. Once you are satisfied with the appearance, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive.
