Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a versatile, long-lasting cosmetic treatment option and can be an excellent choice for patients seeking to improve the appearance of stains, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment. Dental veneers near you can enhance the appearance of a single tooth or transform your entire smile with natural-looking results. Veneers consist of a thin, tooth-coloured shell, custom-made to fit snugly over the existing teeth being treated.

Ideal candidates for porcelain veneers have good overall dental health, supportive tooth structure, and cosmetic concerns that can be adequately addressed with the application of veneers. During your consultation, our veneer specialist near you will perform a thorough oral examination to evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums. They may suggest dental or periodontal treatment, as establishing a foundation of good dental health is the first step toward achieving optimal results with porcelain veneers. If we conclude that you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers, we will develop a comprehensive treatment plan to give you a smile you desire.

Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments can give your teeth a whiter, more refreshed appearance. Our professional dentist in NE Calgary supervises these popular procedures to ensure you obtain the best possible results. In-office dental whitening treatment use bleaching solid agents and high-quality solutions to effectively address stains and discolouration caused by several factors, including:
- Consumption of coffee, wine, and tea
- Use of tobacco products
- The natural aging process
Once you come in for your initial oral evaluation and consultation, we will discuss your options to determine whether teeth whitening can help you meet your goals. Porcelain veneers often serve as an effective alternative in cases of excessively dark and deep-set stains.
Gum Recontouring
Gum Recontouring reshape the gums and create the appearance of a longer tooth by removing excess gum tissue, thereby exposing more of the enamel and producing a fuller, brighter smile. A gum lift is recommended for the so-called “gummy smile” when excessive gum is displayed above the teeth during smiling. There are several causes: abnormal growth and development of the jaw and teeth, excessive gum tissue, and a hyper-mobile upper lip. The gum lift procedure involves gum and bone removal around the front teeth, making them longer. This can dramatically turn a “gummy” short-tooth smile into a much prettier one.
