Made from either plastic or porcelain, a veneer is a thin sheet that covers a flawed tooth. Patients who benefit the most from veneers generally have one or several teeth that are stained or discolored, damaged, cracked, or don’t match the shape or size of their other teeth. A veneer is a fast and simple way to restore the look of your smile.
Porcelain veneers can be made very thin in order to preserve as much of your real tooth as possible. They can also be made thicker to mask more noticeable imperfections. Porcelain veneers are a good option for teeth that are stained or discolored because their color matches natural teeth and blends in well.
Composite veneers are generally produced in a patient’s mouth and composite resin is layered on the tooth. They are the less expensive veneer option but aren’t as durable as porcelain veneers. You may need to replace your composite veneers more often than porcelain ones.
