At Dr Kanowitz we ensure that your visit for Dental Veneers is a relaxed and pleasant experience. The procedure is simple that only requires a few visits. The process involves the following stages:

1. Consultation & Treatment Plan

A consultation appointment is arranged for diagnosis and to discuss all your concerns. Dr Kanowitz will take intraoral photographs, dental x-rays, and perform a complete examination to determine if you are a suitable candidate for veneers. The treatment plan will then be clearly discussed and outlined.

2. Preparation

During this appointment Dr Kanowitz removes a small part of the enamel from the front of the tooth to prepare for the veneers. An impression or mould of your teeth is taken and sent to the lab. Each veneer is handcrafted individually by our dental technician. This usually takes about one to two weeks, to ensure that each veneer creates a healthy, natural look that fits your appearance.

3. Placement

At your next dental visit, Dr Kanowitz checks the fit & colour of veneers. The tooth (or teeth) will be cleaned, polished & etched. The surface is roughened to allow for a strong bonding process. Once adjusted, the veneer is permanently attached with a special cement, and an ultraviolet light is used to harden it quickly. Any excess cement is cleaned off.
