Worried Veneers Will Look Too Artificial?
Learn how Ross Creek Dental designs natural-looking porcelain veneers tailored to your features for a confident, authentic smile.
The Professional’s Smile Solution in Fort Saskatchewan
In a world where confidence drives connection, your smile is one of your most powerful assets. For professionals in Fort Saskatchewan, veneers offer a discreet, lasting way to improve the look of your teeth—whether it’s to cover chips, mask stains, or refine symmetry.
At Ross Creek Dental, we work with you to craft veneers that elevate—not replace—your natural smile. It’s cosmetic dentistry, but with an authentic twist: the smile still looks like yours, just enhanced.
What Are Veneers and Why Choose Them?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells, typically made from porcelain, that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They’re designed to address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, such as:
- Persistent discolouration
- Chipped or cracked enamel
- Minor misalignment or gaps
- Irregular shapes or worn teeth
For many adults, veneers are the go-to option for long-term cosmetic upgrades that don’t require braces, whitening kits, or composite bonding touch-ups.
What Sets Ross Creek Dental Apart?
At Ross Creek Dental, we approach veneers with a blended focus on precision, personalization, and aesthetics. We don’t believe in “one-shade-fits-all” dentistry. Your smile should be a reflection of you—and we’re here to make sure that’s exactly what it becomes.
1. Personalized Smile Design
Before any treatment, we sit down for a detailed consultation and analysis of your facial structure, tooth shape, and smile line. Every veneer is handcrafted to suit your proportions and personality—nothing cookie-cutter.
2. Realistic Aesthetic Outcomes
Our lab partners and in-house dentists are trained in the art of natural aesthetics. You won’t walk out with a set of opaque, blinding-white teeth. Instead, you’ll get the perfect tone, texture, and translucency to match your surrounding teeth and skin tone.
3. Industry-Leading Materials
We use only premium porcelain designed to mimic natural enamel. These materials are known for their strength, resistance to staining, and lifelike quality.
4. Conservative Prep Techniques
Yes, some enamel is removed—but we keep it to a minimum. Our preparation process focuses on conserving your natural tooth structure, which is key for comfort and long-term durability.
5. Transparent Cost & Expectations
We know that veneers are a financial commitment. That’s why we break down costs, timelines, and longevity during your consultation, so you always feel confident moving forward.
The Process: What to Expect When Getting Veneers
If you’re new to the idea of veneers, knowing the process can make a world of difference. Here’s how we make it smooth and stress-free:
Step 1: Consultation and Smile Analysis
We’ll start with a full dental exam, digital imaging, and a conversation about your goals. This is your chance to ask questions, share concerns, and explore what’s possible.
Step 2: Smile Preview and Design
You’ll see a preview mock-up of your future smile—digitally or via temporary bonding—to ensure it aligns with your expectations.
Step 3: Tooth Preparation
A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the surface of the teeth being treated. This creates space for your veneers to sit flush and look natural.
Step 4: Custom Impressions
We take detailed digital or physical impressions to ensure your veneers are crafted to exacting specifications.
Step 5: Temporary Veneers (If Needed)
If your final veneers require lab work, we’ll place temporary ones to protect your teeth in the meantime.
Step 6: Final Veneer Placement
Once ready, your permanent veneers are bonded and polished with extreme care. We make sure every detail—shade, length, angle—is just right.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care. They’re durable, stain-resistant, and designed to withstand daily use. Of course, habits like clenching, grinding, or using your teeth as tools can reduce their lifespan.
At Ross Creek Dental, we give you all the tools to make your veneers last:
- Maintenance guidelines
- Nightguard options (if you grind)
- Professional cleanings every 6 months
Will Veneers Hurt or Damage My Teeth?
This is one of the most common concerns we hear—and we get it.
Here’s the truth: veneer prep does require some enamel removal, but we use ultra-conservative techniques and only work with patients for whom veneers are clinically appropriate. Our approach protects your tooth integrity while achieving seamless cosmetic results.
Most patients report little to no discomfort during the process, and our team is always available to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
The cost of veneers depends on how many teeth you’re treating and what type of veneer is used. Here’s a general guide:
- Porcelain veneers: $949+ per tooth
- Composite veneers: $350–$500 per tooth
We provide a detailed quote during your consultation. Although veneers are not typically covered by insurance, we offer:
- Flexible payment plans
- Package pricing for multi-tooth cases
- Transparent, no-surprise billing
There’s a reason why “veneers that look fake” is one of the top search concerns. At Ross Creek Dental, natural appearance isn’t just a goal—it’s our standard.
Here’s how we get there:
- Translucent ceramic materials that reflect light like enamel
- Personalized shade matching based on your natural teeth
- Custom contours that reflect your gender, age, and facial structure
- Gradual whitening strategy to blend treated and untreated teeth
In short: no “one-color” smiles, and no one-size-fits-all solutions.
Veneers vs. Other Options: Is This the Right Fit?
If you’re weighing cosmetic options, here’s how veneers compare to other treatments:
Treatment | Covers Stains | Fixes Shape | Long-Lasting | Non-Invasive |
Veneers | Yes | Yes | 10–15 years | Minimally |
Whitening | Yes (temporarily) | No | 6–12 months | Yes |
Invisalign | No | Yes | Lifetime (with retainer) | Yes |
Bonding | Yes | Yes | 3–5 years | Yes |
Veneers are ideal if you want to address multiple issues at once and achieve a dramatically improved smile in just a few visits.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
Veneers work best for patients who:
- Have healthy teeth and gums
- Want to fix chips, stains, gaps, or irregularities
- Don’t grind their teeth heavily (or use a guard if they do)
- Are committed to good oral hygiene
If that sounds like you, you’re likely a great fit.
