Quick Answer

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to transform your smile. They cost $1,000-$2,500 per tooth in Vancouver and last 10-15+ years. The process requires 2-3 appointments over 2-4 weeks and can correct stains, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They're an ideal solution for teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, misaligned, or have gaps. Veneers provide a natural-looking, long-lasting transformation that can completely change your smile.
