Veneers

Thin, custom porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their shape, colour and alignment with minimal reduction of natural tooth.

What they are

Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells — also called porcelain or ceramic veneers — that cover the front surface of teeth that are chipped, stained, worn, slightly misaligned or unevenly shaped.

The process

Your dentist designs your veneers to suit your face and smile, prepares the teeth conservatively, and bonds the finished porcelain in place for a natural, light-reflecting finish.

Is it for me

Veneers are a cosmetic option for front teeth. If your goals are mainly about alignment or colour, your dentist may also discuss orthodontics or whitening as alternatives.
