Dental veneers are thin restorations placed over the front surfaces of teeth to change their appearance.
Depending on the case, veneers may be used to address concerns involving tooth colour, shape, proportions, minor spacing, or certain cosmetic imperfections.
Veneers are not the right solution for every smile. Your dentist will need to evaluate the health of your teeth and gums, your bite, how much natural tooth structure is available, and whether habits such as teeth grinding could affect the restorations.
It is also important to understand that veneers are generally considered a long-term dental treatment and may eventually need replacement.
Alternative treatments such as whitening, bonding, orthodontics, or crowns may sometimes be more appropriate depending on your goals.
