CROWNS & VENEERS GIVE YOUR SMILE A MAKEOVER​

 

New techniques in cosmetic dentistry are making it even more convenient to spruce up your smile. For centuries, porcelain has been used by artists, and in the last few years, porcelain veneers - ultra-thin, translucent shells - have become the technique of choice for treating discoloured, chipped, or stained front teeth. In some cases, veneers can even replace traditional braces.

As if that weren't enough, in most cases, your new smile can be created and completed in only 1 or 2 dental visits. These revolutionary cosmetic veneers have been clinically proven to last for 18-20 years.

WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?

A beautiful smile has become the new social barometer for many people today. A smile is the first thing people notice when they meet you – even before they notice your eyes!

Custom made veneers can give you the smile you've always dreamed of: a smile that looks clean, healthy, straight and glamorous.

Your first appointment is devoted to diagnosis and planning of treatment. Take an active role in designing your new smile!

We take you through a 9-step process to make sure you are completely satisfied with how your teeth will look before we start any work.

When your veneers are ready, we place them in temporarily in order to examine their fit and colour. You can check out the aesthetic results as well. By changing the colour of the cement, we can get the exact match you want. To apply the veneer, the cement is sandwiched between the veneer and your tooth; a beam of light initiates the catalyst to harden the cement and you go home with a new smile.

To learn more about what custom made, no-prep veneers can do for you, contact us to request a smile makeover consultation today.

  • HOW DOES THE DENTAL CLINIC HANDLE INSURANCE?
    Financial surprises aren't usually fun. If your dentist or the administrator is being vague about fees or their insurance procedure, it's a red flag. Don't continue with services until you know the breakdown of costs. At LifeSmiles Dental before we start a procedure we'll give you a cost-estimate so that you know approximately how much the treatment fees will cost. If you like, once we have a treatment plan and the cost we can check with your insurance company to see what is covered. This way we can submit your claim to your insurance company immediately if we have all the information we need. ​ Sometimes, if this information isn't readily available, you'll have the choice of either delaying treatment until we have 100% of the information or beginning treatment right away on a pay-as-you-go basis. ​ In order to make this decision easier, a LifeSmiles Treatment Coordinator will be happy to take the time to go over your insurance coverage and give you a better idea of what your best payment approach might be. Please contact us for more information.
