Dental Veneers - Overview
Dental veneers are thin restorations bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their color, shape, length, alignment, and overall appearance. They are commonly used for teeth that are stained, chipped, worn, irregularly shaped, slightly misaligned, or separated by small gaps.
Veneers may be made from porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin. Porcelain veneers are usually created in a dental laboratory and are known for their natural appearance and stain resistance. Composite veneers are applied directly to the teeth and may be completed in fewer appointments.
Treatment normally begins with an evaluation of the teeth, gums, bite, and smile proportions. Photographs, digital scans, X-rays, and smile design software may be used. Some patients receive a mock-up or temporary preview before treatment.
Traditional veneers usually require the removal of a small amount of enamel. Minimal-preparation and no-preparation options may be suitable in selected cases but are not appropriate for every patient.
Veneers are primarily cosmetic and cannot correct active decay, gum disease, severe bite problems, or significant structural damage. These conditions should be treated before veneer placement.
