Dental veneer are custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials bonded to the front surface of teeth, so as to improve your appearance and protect your teeth. It is able to change the shape, color and size of your teeth. Dental veneers can be made from different types of materials, including porcelain and resin composite. Porcelain veneers perform better than resin veneers in resisting stains, while the resin ones are thinner and require less abrasion of the natural tooth. You’d better take a checkup first and consult your dentist about which material is appropriate for your condition. 

  Why Are Dental Veneers Needed?

   Veneers are routinely used to fix:

    • Discolored tooth – either because of root canal treatment; stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth.

    • Teeth that are worn down

    • Teeth that are chipped or broken

    • Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped

    • Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)

    What Are the Advantages of Dental Veneers?

    Veneers offer the following advantages:

    • They provide a natural tooth appearance.

    • Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well.

    • Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.

    • The color of a porcelain veneer can be selected such that it makes dark teeth appear whiter.
