Porcelain Veneers Veneers are like a permanent mask for your teeth. If you feel embarrassed about your smile, veneers can help restore your smile and confidence quickly and easily.
Veneers are flat, tooth-size, custom-moulded, custom-coloured pieces of porcelain or resin. Dr Malkinson can apply these over teeth that are cracked, chipped, or discoloured, to strengthen them and improve the appearance of your smile. If you have gaps between teeth, a veneer can be made slightly larger than your natural tooth to cover the gap. Veneers are made to match the colour and size of your smile so no one will even know you had them applied.
If you're concerned about your smile, Porcelain Veneers can help restore your smile and confidence quickly and easily. Make an appointment today and Dr. Malkinson will have you smiling confidently from ear to ear in no time!

Veneers aren’t just a cosmetic treatment; they also strengthen your teeth. If your teeth are cracked or chipped, they may become vulnerable to disease and decay. Food, bacteria, and sugars that stick to cracks and chips can invade the living centre of your tooth, causing pain, inflammation, infection, and tooth loss.
If you have a gap between your teeth, your other teeth may begin to migrate to attempt to fill this gap. A veneer can brace your teeth in place, allowing your smile to keep its natural shape.
Dr. Malkinson and his team are both highly capable and experienced in providing dental care that makes a difference in the lives of their patients. He’s passionate about providing a painless, comfortable experience for you. If you need a veneer work, call Dr. Malkinson's office to learn more about what he can do for you.
Dr. Malkinson will begin by taking impressions of your teeth. These digital impression images will then be used to design your veneers so they will fit over your teeth properly and blend perfectly into your natural smile.
Next, the impressions will be sent to a lab so that your veneers can be created. From there Dr. Malkinson will bond them to your existing teeth and complete your procedure. Before you know it, you'll be going home with an enhanced smile that is natural in look and feel. Have more questions? Just ask! We’d love to hear from you.
Your new veneers should be cared for as you would with your natural teeth: brushing twice and flossing once daily, alongside regular dental hygiene appointments. If you are uncomfortable with traditional flossing, you can purchase a water flosser; some patients find this to be a more comfortable and convenient alternative.
If you choose, you can begin using a whitening toothpaste to help your smile stay bright. Veneers stain more easily than your natural teeth, so a whitening toothpaste can keep them the same colour as the rest of your smile.
