Porcelain Veneers

A veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface with the purpose to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect a damaged tooth surface.

Veneers can often be an alternative to crowns and a solution to many dental conditions. It is very important to know that veneers are not permanent and may have to be replaced in the future.

There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer:

• Composite - that may be directly placed on the teeth, as build-up
• Porcelain - which is indirectly fabricated in a dental lab
