Veneers are a highly popular cosmetic dental solution designed to enhance the appearance of your smile. These thin, custom-made shells are crafted from porcelain or composite resin material and are adhered to the front surface of the teeth. Veneers effectively address a variety of dental imperfections, including discolored, chipped, broken, uneven, or gap-filled teeth. By covering these flaws, veneers provide a brighter, more uniform smile. The process of applying veneers typically involves a minimal reshaping of the natural tooth to ensure a seamless fit and natural look. With proper care, veneers can last for many years, making them a durable and attractive option for improving one’s dental aesthetics.

Veneers F&Q's
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length.
What types of problems do dental veneers fix?
Veneers are routinely used to fix a variety of dental issues, including discolored teeth, worn down teeth, chipped or broken teeth, misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth, and gaps between teeth.
What materials are used to make veneers?
The two most commonly used materials in the manufacture of veneers are porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.
How long do dental veneers last?
Porcelain veneers generally last between 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers have a shorter lifespan, usually around 5 to 7 years. The lifespan can vary based on care and usage.
Is the veneer application process reversible?
No, the veneer application process is not reversible. Because a portion of the original tooth enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer, the process cannot be undone.
How do I care for my veneers?
Care for veneers is similar to care for your natural teeth. It includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly. While veneers are stain-resistant, your dentist may recommend avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages.
