Porcelain veneers are thin “shells” of porcelain designed to improve the appearance of your teeth. They are glued or cemented to your existing teeth after your teeth have been “shaved” down or shaped. Veneers are often a better choice over crowns or caps because they allow your dentist to get the final esthetic result wanted with much less removal of tooth structure. When the veneers are bonded to your teeth using special cements the final result is very strong and long-lasting. Everyone’s smile is unique and veneers are not always ideal, so speak to your dentist about your specific situation.
