Veneers offer a simple and fast method for getting a beautiful smile. Veneers, sometimes called “dental laminates,” are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the surface of your teeth. They offer a convenient way to improve the color, size, and positioning of teeth, and can be used to repair small imperfections caused by damage, such as a chipped tooth.
This conservative procedure preserves most of the original tooth. Only a small amount of enamel is removed, usually less than a millimeter, to make sure the veneer fits into place perfectly. A light-sensitive resin is used to adjust the color of the veneer and then bond it into place.
Because veneers are individually sculpted and bonded to your teeth, they are both strong and durable. They closely match the composition and appearance of your natural teeth and are resistant to staining. Caring for veneers is easy, as they require nothing more than the brushing
or flossing
that regular teeth require to stay healthy.
