Dental veneers are custom-made shells that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. They conceal cracks, chips, stains and other cosmetic imperfections. Veneers are one of the most common cosmetic dentistry treatments. There are several types of veneers available, depending on your specific goals.

What are Veneers 

Veneers are coverings that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. Technicians use high-quality dental materials, like tooth-colored composite or porcelain, to create them.

Dental veneers are cosmetic in nature. They can conceal a wide range of aesthetic imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, tooth discoloration and more.

Who needs Veneers? 

Veneers are often used on teeth that:

• Are discolored because of:
  • Root canal treatment
  • Stains from tetracycline or other drugs
  • Excessive fluoride
  • Large resin fillings
  • Other causes
• Are worn down
• Are chipped or broken
• Are crooked, uneven, or oddly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
• Have gaps between them (to close the space)

Veneer Procedure  

Getting a dental veneer usually requires three trips to the dentist – one for a consultation and two to make and put on the veneers. This can happen on one tooth or many teeth at the same time.

Dental Veneer Benefits

Veneers offer these advantages:

• They look like a natural tooth.
• Gums usually aren’t sensitive to porcelain.
• Porcelain veneers are not easily stained.
• A color can be selected to make darker teeth appear brighter.
• They generally don’t require as much shaping as crowns do, and they are stronger and look better.
