Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, primarily for cosmetic purposes. They can improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, worn down, chipped, misaligned, or have gaps between them.
Types of Veneers
Porcelain Veneers: Made from high-quality ceramic, they are durable and stain-resistant, offering a natural appearance.
Composite Resin Veneers: Made from a tooth-colored resin material, these are typically less expensive and can be applied in a single visit, but they may not last as long as porcelain.
Benefits
Aesthetic Improvement: Enhances the smile by correcting various imperfections.
Durability: Especially porcelain veneers, which can last 10-15 years with proper care.
Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers resist staining better than natural teeth
Overall, dental veneers are a popular option for those looking to improve their smile, providing a quick and effective cosmetic solution.
