Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made of tooth-colored porcelain designed to cover the front side of teeth.
A veneer is a thin shell made out of porcelain or composite material. They are custom made and cemented to the front side of the tooth.
A veneer can be used to treat dental conditions such as a slightly crooked tooth, discolored teeth, chipped teeth or they can even be used to cover spaces in between the teeth.
They are bonded onto the teeth so as to create a cosmetic improvement for a tooth. Porcelain veneers are routinely used as a way to make cosmetic changes for teeth that are discoloured, worn, chipped, or misaligned.
The translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers provides a more natural look than what’s been available in the past. In some cases, veneers may replace the need for a dental crown, eliminating the need for more invasive tooth preparation.
