Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are considered a stand-out treatment in cosmetic dentistry. Unmatched in natural-looking beauty and durability, porcelain veneers have the potential to dramatically enhance the appearance of your entire smile. Porcelain veneers offer a conservative solution to minor tooth imperfections.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
A porcelain veneer is an ultra-thin shell custom-designed to restore the proportions of a full, healthy tooth. It is bonded to the front of a tooth using a strong cement, thereby working to mask common cosmetic concerns such as gaps, chips, cracks, and staining. With dental porcelain closely resembling the appearance of enamel, a porcelain veneer should look and feel like a natural tooth.
Am I a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers can be an ideal treatment for patients who wish to improve:
- Gaps or uneven spacing between teeth
- Misaligned or short teeth
- Deep staining and discolouration
- Teeth that appear chipped, short, or worn
Our mission at Summit Dental is to help you achieve your desired smile. With cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers, we can transform the look of your teeth, giving you a smile you can’t help but flaunt.
brighten your smile
Professional teeth whitening near you
Every smile looks more beautiful and healthy when your teeth are sparkling white. However, common habits such as drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks, red wine, or smoking will often stain or discolour the tooth enamel.
At Summit Dental, we understand the importance of a beautiful smile, which is why we offer professional-grade teeth whitening options for individuals seeking to lighten the appearance of their teeth. Our teeth whitening treatment can brighten teeth by several shades while improving the confidence you have in your smile.

Gum Contouring
Some patients are delighted with their teeth’ size, shape, and colour—yet are self-conscious of their gums. Prominent or excessive gum tissue, also known as a “gummy smile,” can cover up a significant portion of the teeth, sometimes causing them to look uneven. This can make the teeth appear short and distract from your smile.
Your Edmonton dentist at Summit Dental can carefully remove excess tissue and recontour the gums to look proportional and complement the teeth. The result is a more balanced gums-to-teeth ratio, producing the beautiful smile you desire.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is the process in which tooth-coloured materials are adhered to the tooth. This is a procedure that can be used to repair or improve the appearance of a tooth that has been badly stained, broken or chipped.
The bonding material is made from a strong synthetic resin that is tinted to match the colour of your teeth. It can be easily molded, adjusted, and polished to improve the appearance of your smile. Because bonding is so quick and cost-efficient, it is one of our most popular cosmetic treatments.
