Porcelain veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth by changing their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers can be a solution for various cosmetic dental concerns, such as discoloration, chipped or worn teeth, gaps between teeth, or misaligned teeth.

The process of getting porcelain veneers typically involves several steps. First, the dentist will assess your teeth and discuss your goals to determine if veneers are the right option for you. Then, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to make room for the veneers. Next, impressions of your teeth are taken, which are used to create custom veneers in a dental laboratory.

Once the veneers are ready, usually in a few weeks, they are bonded to the front of your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. The dentist will then make any necessary adjustments to ensure the veneers fit properly and look natural.

Porcelain veneers are known for their natural appearance and durability, and with proper care, they can last for many years. They are also resistant to staining, making them a long-lasting solution for enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.
