To find out if they're right for you, here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about veneers.

What are dental veneers?

Essentially, veneers are custom-made shells that are cemented to your teeth to immediately change their appearance.

By hiding the flaws of your natural teeth, veneers are a great way to achieve a brighter, whiter, straighter smile that is built to last.

What are veneers made of?

Veneers can be porcelain, ceramic or composite. The material will depend on your budget and your personal preferences, including how natural and similar to your natural teeth you want them to be.

When are veneers used?

Veneers are long-term solutions that cover many aesthetic problems by giving the appearance of a straight, even, white smile, they can be used to address:

Discolored, stained, or yellow teeth

Damaged, chipped, or broken teeth

Uneven or hollow spaces

Crooked or misaligned teeth

How are they placed?

The process is quick and easy and includes 3 steps: 

First, schedule an appointment for a consultation. Talk to your dentist about veneers and have him or her guide you to find the best option for you.

When ready, your dentist will prepare the veneer, which requires the removal of very thin enamel (about ½ mm) from your teeth to make room for the veneers.

If you wish, you can be helped at this stage with local anesthesia; afterward, they will take an impression of your teeth to make veneers that fit perfectly. At the same time, while you wait, you will be fitted with a set of "temporary veneers".

After 2-3 weeks, your veneers will be ready and it's time to place them. Your dentist will make sure they are completely suitable for your needs and will bond them to your teeth to produce a perfect, long-lasting smile.
