Dental veneers are custom made facings that are bonded to your teeth to improve the shape, size, colour and texture of your front teeth. They can be hand crafted directly in the dental chair with composite resin or fabricated in the lab using porcelain materials. Veneers are often a great choice for people who have mismatched or different sized teeth, worn or chipped teeth and discoloured teeth that cannot be fully treated with tooth whitening alone. Veneers can also be used to mask a mild cases of malalignment of teeth, however orthodontic treatment is often recommended to avoid excessive removal of tooth structure. Your dentist will work closely with you to understand your individual goals and help to design a smile that you can be proud of.
