Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made of tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain or composite resin, that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically used to enhance the aesthetics of teeth that are discolored, stained, chipped, misaligned, or worn down. Veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth, effectively changing their color, shape, size, or length to create a more symmetrical and attractive smile.
The process of getting veneers usually involves a few dental visits. During the initial consultation, the dentist discusses the patient's goals and examines their teeth to determine if veneers are a suitable option. Then, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to accommodate the thickness of the veneers. Impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where the veneers are custom-made to fit the patient's teeth precisely. Once ready, the veneers are bonded to the teeth using a special adhesive, resulting in a durable and natural-looking smile transformation.
