What are Dental Veneers?
Have you always had that imperfect looking tooth? Or you have always looked out for solutions to your chipped teeth? Dental Veneers or sometimes called porcelain veneers are thin coverings placed over the front part of the tooth to enhance its appearance.
Veneers are durable and not stainable. The main aim of veneers is to brighten patients' smile and improve self-esteem by correcting the alignment of teeth which in other words it acts as an "instant braces". They close the gaps between teeth as well as lengthen and reshape them. Also, they repair chipped, broken, or misshapen teeth.
Moreover, veneers are strong and more aesthetic alternative to bonding which do not require extensive shaping that crowns do.
