Also known as porcelain laminates, veneers are thin, specially made, tooth colored materials designed to cover the front part of teeth in order to achieve that perfect smile. These shells are bonded using a light cured bonding material to place it permanently against the natural teeth changing their color, shape, size or length however desired by the patient.
Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.
