Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells typically crafted from porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are designed to improve the shape, size, color, and alignment of teeth, offering an ideal solution for those with aesthetic concerns such as chips, stains, gaps, or slight misalignments.
Porcelain veneers are favored for their durability and stain resistance, while composite veneers are more affordable and can be applied in a single visit. Both types provide a natural-looking enhancement that blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
The veneer process usually involves removing a small amount of enamel to allow for a proper fit, taking impressions, and fabricating the veneers in a dental lab. Once ready, the veneers are permanently bonded using dental cement and light curing.
Veneers are a long-term cosmetic solution that, with proper care, can last 10 to 15 years or more. They resist discoloration better than natural enamel and provide a symmetrical, polished appearance that enhances the overall smile.
Patients choose veneers not just for cosmetic benefits but also for the confidence they bring. Whether youre dealing with discolored or uneven teeth, veneers offer a dramatic improvement in both appearance and self-esteem, all without extensive dental work.
