Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They are commonly used to improve teeth that are discolored, chipped, worn, uneven, or slightly misaligned. Veneers are typically made from porcelain or composite resin materials that closely resemble the natural color and texture of teeth.

The process of getting veneers usually involves a consultation, tooth preparation, and placement. During the preparation stage, the dentist may remove a small amount of enamel from the surface of the tooth to ensure the veneer fits naturally and comfortably. An impression of the teeth is then taken and sent to a dental laboratory where the veneers are carefully crafted to match the patient’s smile.
