Transform chips, gaps, stains, or worn edges with custom dental veneers at iSmile Dental in Langley. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of your teeth — a conservative cosmetic treatment that gives you a natural-looking, even smile in as few as two visits.
Porcelain veneers are custom-fabricated in a dental lab from high-quality ceramic. They resist staining better, mimic the translucency of natural enamel, and typically last 10–15+ years.
Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto your tooth in a single visit. They cost less, can usually be repaired chairside, but generally last 5–7 years and are more prone to staining over time.
Which is right for you depends on your goals, budget, and the condition of your teeth. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs at your consultation.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years and often longer with good care: avoid biting hard objects, wear a night guard if you grind your teeth, brush and floss daily, and keep up with regular cleanings. Composite veneers last 5–7 years on average.
Composite veneers run roughly $400–$900 per tooth. Porcelain veneers typically range $1,200–$2,200 per tooth. Most patients do 6–10 teeth (the visible “smile zone”). We offer payment plans to spread the cost over 12 or 24 months.
If your only concern is colour, teeth whitening may give you what you want for far less. If teeth are crowded or significantly misaligned, Invisalign followed by whitening can be a more conservative path. For severely damaged teeth, dental crowns may be more appropriate. We’ll recommend the simplest treatment that gets you the result you want.
No — done well, modern veneers remove minimal enamel. Composite veneers are sometimes done with no removal at all. Your teeth stay healthy underneath and can be re-veneered later if needed.
Rarely, but it can happen with trauma or aggressive biting. If a veneer comes off, save it and call us — we can usually re-bond it.
Composite veneers are largely reversible. Porcelain veneers involve some enamel removal, so they’re considered permanent — once you have them, you’ll need them.
Not when designed properly. We match shade, translucency, and shape to your face and natural teeth. The goal is a smile that looks like an excellent version of your own.
Most cosmetic cases use 6–10 veneers across the upper “smile zone.” Some patients only need 2–4 for specific issues. We’ll recommend the minimum that achieves your goal.
