Design Your Perfect Smile with Veneers in Peterborough
At Cornerstone Family Dentistry, we believe that everyone deserves a smile they're proud to share. Our custom-crafted porcelain veneers can transform your smile while maintaining a natural appearance that enhances your unique features.
Instant Smile Transformation
Veneers work like an artist’s brush, instantly revitalizing your smile with precision and beauty. These ultra-thin porcelain shells correct multiple concerns—discoloration, chips, or slight misalignment—while preserving your natural teeth. Unlike many cosmetic treatments that take months, veneers can deliver a stunning, natural-looking smile in just a few visits.
Confidence That Shines
A beautiful smile is more than aesthetics—it’s empowerment. Many patients share how veneers have transformed their confidence, helping them smile freely, speak boldly, and engage effortlessly. This self-assurance extends into both professional and personal interactions, making a significant impact on daily life.
Durable, Life-Changing Results
Porcelain veneers offer a long-lasting solution that enhances both appearance and function. Made from advanced ceramic materials, they resist stains and maintain their brilliance longer than natural enamel. With proper care, veneers provide years of worry-free smiles, allowing you to eat, speak, and live with total confidence.
Understanding Your Veneer Options
Porcelain Veneers
Traditional porcelain veneers offer exceptional durability and a natural appearance. Their translucent quality mimics natural tooth enamel, creating a lifelike appearance that reflects light just like natural teeth.
eMax Veneers
Made from advanced lithium disilicate ceramic, eMax veneers provide superior strength while maintaining a beautifully natural appearance. They're particularly suitable for patients who want extremely thin veneers without compromising durability.
Empress Veneers
These pressed ceramic veneers offer excellent aesthetic results, especially for patients seeking to brighten significantly discoloured teeth while maintaining a natural appearance.
Preparation Options for Every Need
Traditional Preparation
This approach involves minimal reshaping of your natural teeth to ensure optimal fit and appearance. The result is a perfectly aligned, natural-looking smile that can last for many years with proper care.
Minimal-Prep Veneers
For some patients, we can achieve beautiful results with ultra-thin veneers that require little to no modification of your natural teeth. During your consultation, we'll determine if this conservative approach suits your needs.

Your Journey to a New Smile
Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough discussion of your smile goals. Using digital imaging and wax-up models, we'll show you how veneers can transform your smile before any treatment begins.
Design and Planning
Your veneers are meticulously designed to complement your facial features, skin tone, and personal preferences. We take time to ensure you're completely comfortable with the planned results.
Preparation Appointment
During this visit, we gently prepare your teeth and place temporary veneers. These temporaries allow you to "test drive" your new smile and provide feedback before your permanent veneers are created.
Final Placement
Once your custom veneers arrive from our premium dental laboratory, we carefully bond them in place, making any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect fit and comfort.
Caring for Your Investment
Veneers can last for many years with proper care. We'll provide detailed maintenance instructions and recommend regular checkups to ensure your new smile stays beautiful. Simple daily care, similar to your natural teeth, helps maintain their appearance and longevity.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care and regular dental checkups, porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years or longer. Their longevity depends on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle choices.
- Will my veneers look natural?
Yes. Modern porcelain veneers mimic natural tooth enamel's appearance and light-reflecting properties. Each veneer is custom-designed to match your existing teeth and complement your facial features.
- Does getting veneers hurt?
No. The procedure requires only local anesthetic during preparation and is comparable to having a filling. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
- How many veneers will I need?
Most patients choose 6-8 veneers across their upper front teeth for a symmetrical smile. The exact number depends on your smile goals and which teeth show when you smile.
- What's the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover only the front surface of your tooth, while crowns encase the entire tooth. Veneers are primarily cosmetic, while crowns provide structural reinforcement.
- Can I still get cavities with veneers?
Yes. The natural tooth structure behind and around the veneer remains susceptible to decay. Regular dental hygiene and checkups are essential.
- How do I care for my veneers?
Maintain regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. While veneers resist staining better than natural teeth, avoid excessive coffee, tea, or red wine consumption.
- Are veneers reversible?
Traditional veneers require permanent enamel removal and are not reversible. We offer minimal-prep options for suitable candidates that require little to no enamel modification.
- Will my insurance cover veneers?
Most insurance plans consider veneers cosmetic and don't cover them. We offer flexible payment plans and financing options to help make treatment affordable.
- How long does the veneer process take?
The process typically takes 2-3 weeks, involving two main appointments: one for preparation and temporary veneers, and another for permanent placement. Each appointment takes 2-3 hours.
