Veneer

What is a Dental Veneer?

A Veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over the front surface of a tooth to dramatically improve its appearance. It's one of the most popular and effective procedures in cosmetic dentistry, used to correct a wide range of imperfections and create a beautiful, uniform, and confident smile.

Think of a veneer as a new, flawless face for your tooth. They are used to change the color, shape, size, or length of teeth and can fix issues such as:

• Gaps or spaces
• Permanent stains
• Minor chips or cracks
• Slightly crooked or misshapen teeth

Veneers can be made from composite resin or, for the most durable, stain-resistant, and lifelike results, from advanced ceramic materials. When we talk about creating a stunning, long-lasting smile makeover, we are typically referring to the premier option, the Porcelain Veneer.
