Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers are a thin custom made shell that covers the front surface of your tooth to improve its appearance. They are made of tooth colored materials and can be used to improve the color of the teeth that have been worn down or stained. Alternately, they can be used to improve the shape or size of the teeth.
There are two types of veneers that are commonly used. Porcelain veneers are more durable and resists stains better. The properties of the material also helps to create a very natural tooth look. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite resin veneers are not made in a laboratory, but instead directly applied to the tooth. They typically have a shorter life span and are less expensive.
You should consider veneers if your teeth are stained or discolored, your teeth are crooked or misshapen, your teeth have spaces between them, or if your teeth are broken or chipped.
