VENEERS
What is a veneer?
Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain or composite that are bonded with the appropriate procedure on the facial surface of natural teeth.
They do not cover the whole surface of teeth, like Crowns do. They are the treatment of choice for cases when we need to restore the aesthetic appearance of a smile and to rehabilitate teeth with discolorations, old damaged fillings, little cracks, or chippings and problematic shape or position.
Generally, veneers are used to restore the appearance of smile and to achieve the desired shape, position and anatomy of the teeth, avoiding extended, invasive therapies. The advantages of veneers are their longevity, their natural appearance with minimum removal of enamel or dentin, compared to crowns.
