Porcelain Veneers
Do you dream of having a white, stunning smile but feel as if you’ll never get there? Do you struggle to smile due to a chipped, discoloured, or crooked tooth? Have you considered acquiring porcelain veneers? Cosmetic dentistry solutions from North Bramalea Dental can help you achieve a brighter smile.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Dental veneers consist of thin layers of porcelain. They can change the shape, size, and colour of your teeth. The covers go directly over your teeth, so aside from a small enamel shaving procedure, the treatment is fairly non-invasive.
Porcelain is used due to its durability, versatility, and shine. Each veneer is hand-crafted out of stain-resistant porcelain in a lab by certified dental technicians. Plus, the procedure is comfortable and less time-consuming you might think.
Why Should I Get Veneers?
These provide long-lasting protection for your smile in half the time other procedures take. Orthodontic therapy takes years to produce results, and success isn’t guaranteed. Plus, crowns require more enamel removal than veneers.
With two to three visits to the North Bramalea Dental clinic, you’ll have a perfectly straight and white smile without sacrificing much time or effort.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
With regular dental check-ups and at-home care, your porcelain veneers should last anywhere from 12 to 15 years. Brush the covers with nonabrasive toothpaste, and be sure to floss daily.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The process to get fitted and placed takes about 2 to 3 appointments. Here’s what you can expect:
- The first visit involves a consultation and a wax mock-up.
- The second visit includes prepping your teeth and placing temporary veneers.
- The final appointment is when your custom-made veneers are placed on your teeth.

Teeth Whitening by North Bramalea Dental
Teeth whitening is quickly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic dental services for good reason. Professional teeth whitening is the most effective way to transform your smile and make stained or discoloured teeth look better than ever.
Our expert service creates a long-lasting, bright white smile like no other option can provide. You’ll find that improving your smile can change your whole life for the better.
Transform Your Smile
It’s all too easy to end up staining your teeth, something that happens to most people throughout their lives. Discolouration can result from many factors: coffee, tea, soda, red wine, and tobacco.
Fortunately, it’s possible to reverse years of stains through the teeth whitening process. This treatment is a quick and easy way to give you your best smile.
Having a bright white smile can have a positive effect on many aspects of your life. Teeth whitening will boost your self-confidence, leading to a happier life overall. With stains, you may have started hiding your smile without even realizing you’re doing so. After whitening treatments, you’ll find yourself smiling and laughing more than you did previously.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Excellent question! The short answer is yes. However, we will only recommend teeth whitening after performing a thorough oral examination. It is important that cavities, gum disease and other dental problems are properly addressed before whitening. Those who have stained teeth tend to brush with too much force. It leads to wearing down the enamel from your dentin, resulting in even more discoloration and potentially severe dental problems. Our professional service will not only make your teeth look better, but it can also keep them healthier as well.
Trust the Professionals
Some people go with over-the-counter whitening kits. However, these don’t last long and lack the strength provided by a dental service. Additionally, incorrect use of these do-it-yourself kits can cause gum damage. The best way to ensure that your whitening treatment will be successful and long-lasting is through professional dental whitening services.
At North Bramalea Dental, we have the resources and expertise to restore your smile to pristine condition. Our professional teeth whitening service provides you with a beautiful new smile to make sure you leave a lasting impression.

Crowns and Bridges
Don’t let missing or damaged teeth get you down. At North Bramalea Dental, we can help you take action towards a healthier and more beautiful smile!
Missing and damaged teeth can cause trouble for you over time. That’s why we recommend being proactive. Without a crown or bridge, empty spaces in your mouth can cause problems with your alignment, gum health, or bite.
If you’re looking for a more permanent fix to replace a missing tooth or strengthen a damaged one, we recommend crowns or bridges.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. The crown or “cap” will cover the existing tooth. If it is replacing a missing tooth, it will cover an implant given by the dentists at North Bramalea Dental.
A crown may be the best option for you if you want to:
- Protect a weakened tooth
- Restore a damaged tooth
- Cover discolouration
- Cap a poorly shaped tooth or implant
If a crown is the best choice for you, it will usually only take two visits. At the first, we will prep the tooth make an impression of your mouth for sizing. We send the results to a lab where they custom-make a crown. The dentist will place it on your second visit.
Dental Bridges
While crowns can cover existing teeth, bridges are only for replacing missing teeth. Bridges go between two existing teeth covered by crowns. The crowns on either side support the bridge, which covers the missing tooth’s space.
At North Bramalea Dental, we recommend bridges for people who have healthy surrounding teeth to support a bridge. For some, this may be a better option than relying on jaw strength like crowns require.
Dental Crowns vs. Dental Bridges
Both procedures accomplish similar goals but in different ways. A crown will need to cover an existing tooth or implant. Bridges can cover a completely missing tooth but need support from two teeth on either side.
