Veneers in Langley.
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve shape, colour, and symmetry — while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Each one is designed to match your features so your smile looks balanced, not artificial.
Thin shells, a balanced smile.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to refine their appearance. Each veneer is individually designed to match your facial features, bite, and surrounding teeth, so the result looks balanced rather than artificial.
Who veneers are best for.
Porcelain veneers are well suited to cosmetic concerns such as staining that does not respond to whitening, small chips or cracks, uneven edges, or mild spacing issues.
Refined appearance
Shape, colour, and symmetry improved while your smile still looks like your own.
Minimal tooth reduction
Only a small amount of enamel is removed compared with crowns.
Versatility
Addresses staining, small chips, uneven edges, and mild spacing in one approach.
Long-lasting results
With good care and regular checkups, veneers hold up for many years.
What the timeline looks like.
Veneers usually come together over a few visits:
Initial consultation
We review your goals and confirm whether veneers are the right fit for your teeth and bite.
Treatment planning
Your veneers are designed around your facial features and surrounding teeth for a balanced result.
Tooth preparation
A minimal amount of enamel is shaped so each veneer sits flush and natural.
Temporary veneers
Temporaries protect the prepared teeth while your custom veneers are crafted.
Bonding the veneers
The final porcelain veneers are checked for fit and colour, then bonded securely in place.
How veneers compare to crowns.
Veneers
Veneers focus on improving the visible surface of the tooth and are best suited to cosmetic changes — refining colour, shape, and symmetry while keeping most of the natural tooth intact.
Crowns
Crowns cover the entire tooth and are typically recommended when additional strength or restoration is required, rather than for appearance alone.
Made to last, with good habits.
With proper care, veneers can last many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular checkups, and avoiding habits such as biting hard objects all help extend their lifespan.
Our approach, led by Dr. Brian Hu, focuses on conservative preparation, clear communication, and outcomes that support long-term oral health — so the result looks natural and holds up over time.
Your veneer questions, answered.
Will veneers match the colour and appearance of my natural teeth?
Yes. Veneers are custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your existing teeth, so they blend in and keep your smile looking natural rather than artificial.
Do veneers require significant tooth reduction?
One advantage of veneers is that they typically need only a minimal amount of enamel removed, preserving most of your natural tooth structure compared with options like crowns.
Are dental veneers permanent?
Veneers are designed to be long-lasting, but they are not considered permanent. With proper care they can last many years, though they may eventually need to be replaced due to normal wear or damage.
Can veneers be removed?
Veneers can be removed, but doing so may involve removing some enamel from the tooth. It is best to discuss this with your dentist before deciding.
Can I still get cavities with veneers?
Yes. You can still get cavities in the natural tooth beneath the veneer, so it remains important to brush, floss, and keep up regular checkups to protect your teeth from decay.
Are veneers covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Many insurers consider veneers a cosmetic procedure and may not cover the cost, so it is worth checking with your provider to understand your benefits and any out-of-pocket expense.
