Dental veneers cover the front of the teeth for a flawless appearance – one veneer per tooth as necessary. These veneers are also called porcelain veneers or porcelain laminates.

Did you know that dental veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments around the world? A dental veneer is a ceramic tooth-shaped shell that is placed over the natural tooth to improve appearance by changing the shape, size, and shade of the tooth. They are usually used on the front surface of teeth. They can also be made out of a composite resin, but porcelain has been proven to last longer. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth. Veneers are usually placed to mask discoloration, to brighten teeth, and to improve your smile.

There is an old saying that goes, “You are never fully dressed without a smile.” From subtle changes to major repairs, your cosmetic dentist can perform a variety of procedures to improve your smile. There are many techniques and options available to treat teeth that are discolored, chipped, misshapen or missing. Cosmetic dentistry is concerned with the appearance of teeth, and the enhancement of a person's smile. In this field, the emphasis is on the art of dentistry, not just the science.
