Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Dental Veneers provide the most dramatic smile makeover that allows people to correct teeth that are visibly displeasing to them in any way. Corrections in appearance can be made to teeth that are in any of these categories:
- Crooked teeth
- Stained teeth
- Discoloured teeth
- Broken teeth
- Teeth with spaces or gaps
- Misshapen teeth
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth to change the color, shape, size, or length of the patient’s teeth. Porcelain veneers resist stains and their translucent and polychromatic characteristics mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.
