About the treatment

Porcelain Veneers or Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of the tooth-colour particularly designed to cover up the front surface of teeth in order to improve the overall appearance. These porcelain shells are bonded to the exterior side of the teeth changing the colour, shape, size or length of the existing tooth. The surgical way to install porcelain veneers can effectively help correct gaps, irregular shapes, or stains. It is due to the fact that the original teeth are usually altered to place the veneers, it is an irreversible treatment. Although veneers fall into cosmetic dentistry category, they also boast shielding qualities and may eliminate the need for extensive treatments. Other benefits include an improved smile appearance and the need for non-removal of tooth structure compared to crowns.
