Porcelain veneers can greatly improve the look of your smile. Veneers can be used to close gaps in the teeth or crowding of teeth, whiten teeth, change the shape of chipped, crooked or broken teeth, lengthen small teeth, and make subtle changes which can have a huge impact on your smile.
Veneers are ultra-thin, translucent laminates that are designed specifically for your mouth. A veneer is comprised of a thin porcelain or plastic shell that is bonded to your own teeth and usually covers just the front and top of the teeth.
Veneers appear to look exactly like a natural tooth. They will not be noticeable to others. They are highly stain-resistant to such things as coffee, tea and cigarettes.
With proper care, your porcelain veneers will last for a long time. Usually they will not have to be replaced for over a decade.
