What are Veneers?
There are actually two types of veneers…..direct (composite) veneers and indirect (porcelain) veneers. A veneer is a very thin (less than 1 mm) layer of material that covers the outer front surface and the edge of a front tooth. A veneer is conservative because only a minimal amount of tooth structure is prepared. A veneer is an awesome cosmetic procedure that can be utilized to either whiten teeth, change the shape or contour, repair chipped edges, and/or make mildly crooked teeth appear straight.
Veneers are thin porcelain “shells” that are bonded to teeth to totally rejuvenate a smile. Veneers are a safe, conservative and extremely effective technique to correct gaps, chips, stains and other imperfections. Porcelain, which reflects light just like real teeth, is the ideal material for Veneers.
