Dental veneers in Mississauga change the colour, shape and length of front teeth that are stained, chipped, worn, uneven or slightly gapped. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite that cover the front of your teeth, often in just two visits. At River Run Dental Centre, our dentists provide veneers along with other cosmetic dentistry, planned around your face and your natural smile.
Dr. Karishma Phutela (Dr. Tina) has a special interest in cosmetic dentistry, including veneers and smile makeovers. We’re open 7 days a week, including evenings and Sundays.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Veneer teeth look natural because porcelain reflects light much like enamel does. Veneers are one of the most versatile treatments in cosmetic dentistry.
Covers stains that whitening can't lift
Fixes chips, gaps and uneven edges
Stain-resistant porcelain
Only a thin layer of enamel is reshaped
How Porcelain and Composite Veneers Are Placed
Porcelain veneers usually take two or three visits over two to three weeks.
Consultation and Smile Plan
We talk about what you'd like to change, take photos and a scan, and plan the shape and shade.
Preparing the Teeth
We gently reshape a thin layer of enamel, take a final scan and fit temporary veneers.
Bonding Your Veneers
We check the fit and colour with you, then bond each veneer firmly in place.
Composite veneers are built up directly on your teeth in one visit. They cost less than porcelain but stain more easily and usually need replacing sooner. Your dentist will explain which suits your teeth and goals.

Dental Veneers Cost in Mississauga
Dental veneers cost in Mississauga depends on the material and how many teeth you’re treating. Porcelain veneers cost more than composite but last longer and resist stains. Most people treat the teeth that show when they smile, often four to ten. The average cost of dental veneers in Ontario varies with these choices, so compare what each veneer price includes, such as the consultation, temporaries and follow-up.
With insurance: veneers are usually cosmetic, so most plans don’t cover them. If a veneer repairs a broken tooth, part of the cost may be covered.
Without insurance: we’ll give you the full veneers cost and fees before you decide. If you’re looking for cheap or affordable veneers, composite veneers or bonding cost less, and we’ll compare them honestly.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) doesn’t cover cosmetic treatments like veneers.

Veneers, Smile Makeovers and Other Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers are one part of cosmetic dentistry. A smile makeover combines several treatments into one plan, for example:
- Teeth whitening to brighten natural teeth, often before veneers so the shades match
- Dental bonding for small chips and gaps in a single visit
- Invisalign to straighten teeth first, so less enamel needs reshaping
- Dental crowns for teeth that are too damaged for a veneer
You may also see Snap-On Smile advertised. It’s a removable appliance that clips over your teeth rather than a veneer. It can work as a temporary cosmetic option, but it doesn’t change your teeth the way veneers do.
Who Are Veneers For?
Veneers suit adults with healthy teeth and gums who want to change how their front teeth look.
- Good candidates: stained teeth that don’t whiten, chipped or worn edges, small gaps, and slightly crooked or uneven teeth.
- Not ideal: heavy grinding, active gum disease or cavities, or teens whose teeth are still developing.
- After veneers: brush and floss as usual, avoid biting hard objects, and wear a night guard if you grind.
Porcelain veneers usually last 10 to 15 years. Composite veneers last about 5 to 7 years before they need touching up or replacing.

Dental Veneers in Mississauga: Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the material and how many teeth you're treating. Porcelain veneers cost more than composite but last longer. We give you the cost per veneer and the total at your consultation. Veneers are usually cosmetic, so most insurance plans don't cover them.
Porcelain veneers usually last 10 to 15 years with good care, and composite veneers about 5 to 7 years. Avoiding hard foods, not using your teeth as tools and wearing a night guard if you grind all help.
Porcelain veneers need a thin layer of enamel removed, so the change is permanent and that tooth will always need a veneer. Composite veneers and bonding often need little or no reshaping.
They should. We match the shape, size and shade to your face and your other teeth, and you see and approve the plan before we bond anything.
No. Veneers keep their colour, and whitening won't change them. If you'd like whiter teeth, whiten first, then we match the veneers to your new shade.
No. Cosmetic dentistry isn't a recognized dental specialty in Ontario. Our general dentists provide veneers, whitening and bonding.
Porcelain veneers are made in a lab, resist stains and last longer, but take two or three visits and cost more. Composite veneers are shaped directly on your teeth in one visit and cost less, but they can chip or stain sooner. Both can look natural in the right hands.
Veneers can hide teeth that are slightly crooked, uneven or gapped, a bit like instant straightening. If your teeth are more crowded, Invisalign first usually gives a better, longer-lasting result with less reshaping.
Usually not, because veneers are considered cosmetic. If a veneer repairs a broken or damaged tooth, some plans cover part of it. The Canadian Dental Care Plan doesn't cover cosmetic treatments.
