Dental Veneers

We all have our insecurities, and if there is something about your teeth that makes you want to hide your smile in photos and your daily life, a dental veneer might be an ideal cosmetic solution to help you rediscover the beauty of your signature grin. Similar to dental crowns, veneers are designed to cover up a variety of imperfections like cracked, stained, or chipped teeth, but they typically cover the front of the tooth as opposed to the whole tooth structure.

How Dental Veneers Work

Veneers are made of durable porcelain, bonded to your permanent teeth and custom-moulded to suit the natural shape and contours of your smile. When applied correctly, porcelain veneers can last as long as 10 to 12 years before being replaced. Veneers can also be created using composite resin, which is quite durable but does usually require replacement after about five to eight years of wear and tear.

Dental Veneers vs. Dental Crowns

There are many similarities between veneers and dental crowns in terms of how they can restore the natural beauty of your smile.
