- Veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are made of porcelain or composite resin, and can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic problems, such as chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth.
- Veneers are a permanent procedure, but they can last for 15 years or more with proper care. The cost of veneers varies depending on the materials used and the complexity of the procedure, but they are generally more expensive than other cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as bonding.
- The veneer bonding procedure typically takes two appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist will prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. The veneers will then be created in a dental lab and bonded to the teeth in the second appointment.
Here are some of the benefits of dental veneers:
- They can improve the appearance of your teeth by correcting chips, cracks, discoloration, and crookedness.
