Veneers
Also called: dental veneers, porcelain veneers
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite bonded to the front of the teeth to change their color, shape, length, or spacing. They are a cosmetic upgrade for chipped, stained, or slightly crooked teeth. Porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant.
What to expect
- A small amount of enamel may be shaped before impressions are taken.
- Custom veneers are made and then bonded to your teeth.
- The change is visible immediately once they are placed.
Questions to ask a practice
- Are veneers or bonding the better fit for what I want to change?
- Will any natural tooth structure be removed, and is it reversible?
- Can I see a preview or mock-up of the result first?
