Veneers are permanent coverings that are placed over the teeth to correct cosmetic imperfections like chippings and stains. Laminate veneers are a type of veneers that are specifically designed for front teeth. Centrepointe Dental Clinic offers three kinds of laminate veneers:

Emax veneers – Made of a strong porcelain called lithium disilicate ceramic. Aside from durability and an appearance that looks natural, Emax veneers’ minimal preparation allow for most of the natural tooth to be preserved. They last for 10-15 years.

Zirconia veneers – Made of a ceramic called zirconia oxide. Zirconia veneers are the strongest type of dental veneers available and are very resistant to wear and tear, lasting for 15-20 years.

Ceramage veneers – Made of zirconium silicate. These are best for a natural look, as ceramage veneers offer a variety of gum and tooth shades patients can choose from. These last five to seven years.
