Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Typically made from porcelain or composite resin materials, veneers are bonded to the teeth to alter their color, shape, size, or length.
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, making them a popular choice for those seeking a durable and natural-looking solution. Composite resin veneers are less expensive and require less enamel removal but may not last as long and are more prone to staining.
People choose dental veneers to correct various cosmetic issues, including:
-
Discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening treatments
-
Worn down, chipped, or broken teeth
-
Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
-
Gaps between teeth
The procedure typically involves a consultation, enamel removal, impression-taking, and final bonding of the veneer. Veneers can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.
