They are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are carefully bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. It serves primarily as a protective coating to prevent further damage caused by wear and tear, but it can also be used for aesthetic purposes as it can improve the shape, size, and length as well as the colour of the teeth.
A conservative alternative to crowns; veneers are also a stronger, longer lasting alternative to bonding.
Once placed, the veneers are very strong and will resist most of the forces placed upon them by a normal diet.
Veneers are a permanent solution and the teeth receiving the veneers need to be relatively intact and minimally restored or filled, as the success of this technology relies on the 'bond' of the veneer to the underlying enamel of your tooth.
