Dental veneers are thin layers of porcelain or resin bonded to the surface of the teeth for the purpose of cosmetic alteration. Also known as laminates, veneers provide a brilliantly white smile that is symmetrical and proportionate to each patient’s face. Veneers may be used to repair a single chipped or misshapen tooth, or they may be employed to completely transform a patient’s smile. Although dental veneers can change the shape, size and color of the teeth, they are considered to be a relatively conservative way of cosmetically enhancing one’s smile.
