What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. They are carefully designed to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth and can address a variety of cosmetic concerns while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Veneers are tailored to each patient’s smile, making them a versatile option for cosmetic enhancement.
Dental Health and Veneers
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length.
Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. Resin veneers are thinner and require less tooth surface removal before placement. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.
