Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are wafer thin shells that are cemented to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. While veneers offer a wonderful solution, it is important for the patient to realize they are permanent as a layer of enamel is removed from the front of each tooth that is to be treated.
Veneers are incredibly versatile and are custom crafted to match your natural teeth. Veneers can correct a number of issues such as severe tooth discoloration, chipped or broken teeth, and misshapen teeth. Veneers can also fix small gaps between teeth.
