Long Description
A laminate veneer is a thin, custom-designed shell made of porcelain or composite resin that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Veneers are used to improve the appearance of teeth by correcting discoloration, chips, minor misalignments, gaps, and irregular shapes.
Porcelain veneers are highly durable and stain-resistant, closely resembling natural enamel, while composite veneers are more affordable and can be applied in a single visit. The process typically requires removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth’s surface to ensure a proper fit before bonding the veneer in place.
Veneers offer a long-lasting cosmetic solution, but proper care is necessary to maintain their appearance. Avoiding excessive force, such as biting on hard objects, and maintaining good oral hygiene help extend the lifespan of veneers. They are a popular choice for patients looking for a dramatic yet minimally invasive smile enhancement.
