Dental veneers are thin, custom-made, tooth-coloured shells that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. They are an excellent option to fix dental issues like cracks, chips, stains, smaller-than-average teeth and other cosmetic imperfections. Dental veneers are often made from porcelain or resin-composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Resin veneers are thinner and require removal of less of the tooth surface before placement.
