Many people considering a smile transformation with veneers in Edmonton wonder if the result will look unnatural. If a smile is too perfect, the human eye immediately identifies it as dental work.
However, modern equipment and a custom approach help ensure you get veneers that suit your face and smile. At Smile Solutions Dental, we consider subtle details that make a tooth look human rather than manufactured. Here’s what to know about how we make sure you get veneers that suit you.
Customizing Tooth Shape to Personality
The shape of a veneer conveys a lot about a person’s appearance.
- Rounded edges (softened line angles) create a more gentle appearance.
- Squared edges create a bolder look.
During your consultation, we discuss your personality and aesthetic goals. We can even add subtle irregularities, like a slight rotation or a tiny variation in length, to mimic the organic way natural teeth sit in the arch.
The Gingival Interface: A Seamless Transition
The most common giveaway for a veneer is a dark line or a bulky edge at the gumline. We use subgingival margin placement and ultra-thin porcelain (sometimes as thin as a contact lens) to ensure an invisible transition between your tooth and the veneer. The snug fit prevents a puffy gum look and ensures that your gums stay healthy.
Choosing the Right Brightness (Not Just Color)
A veneer can be white, but if the value (brightness) is too high, it looks like it’s glowing in the dark. We calibrate the value of your porcelain to match the whites of your eyes (the sclera). When the brightness of your teeth matches the brightness of your eyes, the entire face looks refreshed and balanced.
