Veneers, or laminates, are a thin shell of porcelain or resin bonded to the surface of the teeth. Veneers can change the shape, shade and position of teeth, and replace or restore lost tooth structure. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of teeth in shape and whiteness, and are often chosen by patients who are concerned with the aesthetics of their smiles.
Because veneers are very thin, they often require very little or no tooth structure to be removed before placement. Veneers are considered one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available. Your dentist can evaluate whether or not veneers are a suitable treatment for you.
