Porcelain Veneers Explained

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or ceramic bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve color, shape, size, and alignment. They are custom-designed to match your natural teeth and provide a durable, stain-resistant result that can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care.

Veneers are ideal for teeth with stubborn discoloration, chips, minor misalignment, gaps, or uneven edges that do not respond to whitening or bonding alone.
