Veneers are another way of improving smiles and the appearance of front teeth. They are porcelain and a simple explanation would be they are not unlike a false fingernail.

Depending on the desired result and plan the front face of the tooth is gently and minimally prepared and impressions taken. A temporary is placed on the tooth and on the return of the veneer from the laboratory the temporary is removed and the veneer carefully bonded into place on the front of the tooth with a thin, flowable tooth coloured filling material. Done well they look fantastic and are very strong.

Often we would choose to do a full coverage crown rather than a veneer because they are stronger still.
