Dental Veneer
Explained

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are a popular cosmetic dentistry option for enhancing the color, shape, size, or length of teeth and can address issues such as discoloration, gaps between teeth, chipped or worn teeth, and misaligned or irregularly shaped teeth.

Composite resin veneers: These veneers are made of a tooth-colored composite resin material that is applied directly to the tooth and shaped to create the desired appearance. Composite resin veneers can be more affordable than porcelain veneers but may not last as long and are more prone to staining.

The process of getting dental veneers typically requires two to three visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. An impression of the teeth will then be taken and sent to a dental laboratory where the veneers will be custom-made.

What Exactly Is
Dental Venner?

There are two main types of dental veneers:

Porcelain veneers: These are custom-made, wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of teeth. Porcelain veneers are highly durable, stain-resistant, and can be customized to match the color and translucency of natural teeth, providing a natural-looking smile.

Composite resin veneers: These veneers are made of a tooth-colored composite resin material that is applied directly to the tooth and shaped to create the desired appearance. Composite resin veneers can be more affordable than porcelain veneers but may not last as long and are more prone to staining.
