Veneers
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-shaped shells of porcelain that are fitted over the front surface of a patient’s teeth. They can be used to mask imperfections and/or completely change the look of a patient’s smile. Porcelain veneers are a permanent cosmetic treatment that will need to be cared for and maintained for life. Porcelain is by far the most natural-looking material used in dental treatments, making it perfect for reimagining and revitalizing your smile.What Issues Do Porcelain Veneers Address?
