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.
