Veneers
What are veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance. Veneers are typically made of porcelain or composite resin and are placed over the teeth to change their color, shape, size, or length. They are often used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, chipped, worn down, or irregularly shaped.

What are Some of the Benefits of veneers?
There are several benefits to getting veneers, including:
- Veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth, making them look brighter, straighter, and more even.
- Veneers are made from strong materials like porcelain or composite resin, so they can last for many years with proper care.
- Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains, so they can help maintain the brightness of your smile.
- Veneers require only a small amount of enamel to be removed from the tooth surface, which means they are a less invasive option than other cosmetic dental procedures.
- Veneers can be used to address a variety of cosmetic issues, including discoloration, chips, cracks, and gaps between teeth.
- Veneers can be cared for just like natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
more about veneers
To prepare for veneers, a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the surface of the tooth to make room for the veneer. An impression of the tooth is then taken and sent to a dental laboratory where the veneer is custom-made to fit the tooth precisely. Once the veneer is ready, it is bonded to the tooth using a special adhesive and cured with a light to harden the bond.
Veneers can be a good option for people who want to improve the appearance of their teeth without undergoing more invasive procedures like braces or dental implants. However, they are not suitable for everyone and may not be appropriate for people with certain dental conditions or habits like teeth grinding. A consultation with a dentist can help determine if veneers are a good option for you.
