Dental Veneers in Ajax, ON
Custom porcelain veneers correct discolouration, chips, gaps, and imperfections, transforming your smile in as little as two appointments with completely natural looking results.
Understanding Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct imperfections. They address discolouration resistant to whitening, chips, cracks, minor gaps, slightly misaligned teeth, and teeth that appear too small or short.
Porcelain veneers are custom fabricated in a dental laboratory to match the exact shape, size, and shade you desire. The result is a dramatic transformation that looks entirely natural. Minimal tooth preparation is required, making veneers a relatively conservative cosmetic option.
Benefits of Dental Veneers

- Minimal removal of natural tooth structure required
- Transformative results in as little as two visits
Caring for Your Veneers
Looking after veneers fits into a normal routine. There is no special product to buy and nothing complicated to remember. What shortens the life of a veneer is almost always force rather than neglect.
- Brush and floss as you would for natural teeth, including along the gumline
- Avoid biting ice, pens, or fingernails, which is the most common cause of a chipped veneer
- Do not use your teeth to open packaging
- Wear a night guard if you grind or clench while asleep
- Keep routine checkups and cleanings so we can monitor the margins and the teeth beneath
How Long Veneers Last
With everyday care, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years and often longer. When a veneer does eventually need replacing it is usually because of wear at the edges or a change in the gumline rather than sudden failure, and we would normally see that coming at a routine checkup well before it becomes a problem.
Cost of Dental Veneers
The cost of dental veneers depends on the material chosen, porcelain or composite, and how many teeth are involved in your treatment plan.

Common Questions
Dental Veneers FAQ
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a long term treatment rather than a permanent one. Porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years or more with proper care, and can be replaced when needed.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Porcelain veneers are custom made to match the shape, size, and shade you want, and porcelain reflects light in a way that looks very similar to natural tooth enamel.
How many veneers do I need?
This depends on your goals. Some patients choose a single veneer to correct one damaged tooth, while others choose a full set across the visible front teeth for a complete smile transformation. This is discussed and planned during your consultation.
How do I care for my veneers?
Veneers are cared for just like natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing. Avoiding habits like biting ice or using your teeth to open packaging, along with wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth, helps them last as long as possible.
How much do veneers cost?
Veneer cost depends on the material used and how many teeth are treated, so we do not list set pricing here. Contact our office for a personalized quote based on your goals, and ask about financing options if needed.
