A dental veneer is a thin shell usually made of porcelain, although they can also be made with resin. Porcelain is frequently used for its natural appearance and resistance to staining. On the other hand, resin can be mixed so that its color matches the rest of your smile. A veneer is placed over the front of your tooth to conceal minor cosmetic problems. A veneer can be used to:

• Whiten a tooth or just slightly correct its color
• Correct the appearance of teeth that are worn, chipped, broken or cracked
• Correct teeth that are improperly shaped or spaced
• Improve a tooth that is slightly crooked

Veneers can be used to correct an issue with a single tooth or to improve your entire smile. If properly cared for, your veneers can last you up to 10 years before they need to be replaced. Veneers are a simple solution to improving your smile, and you can contact our office for more information about this treatment.
