Dental Veneers: An Overview

Dental Veneers, also referred toporcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are thin shells of restorative material that are placed over the outer surface of the teeth. They serve two purposes – beauty enhancement and protection of mildly damaged teeth. They are a simple solution for cosmetic problems. If the teeth are, slightly damaged, dental veneers can be applied to protect them from further damage. This way, extensive and expensive cosmetic or restorative treatment procedures can be evaded.

Dental veneers can fix a variety of problems such as:

• Discoloration or staining of teeth.
• Gaps between teeth.
• Misaligned, asymmetrical shaped, uneven, or crooked teeth.
• Fractured or chippedteeth.
• Wearing away of the layer of enamel.

Dental Veneers require a rather simple procedure that can be done in as little as 1 – 2 visits.
