Veneers are thin pieces of plastic or porcelain that are glued onto the front of your teeth. They are about the same thickness as a contact lens. They can cover worn tooth enamel, correct uneven tooth alignment, and fix any spacing issues you might have. They will also cover chips and cracks. Because of their bright white color, they will easily hide any stains or discolorations in your teeth.
Veneers will not stain and their life expectancy is between ten to fifteen years. They are an affordable solution for anyone seeking a perfect smile. The two most common types of veneers are Porcelain Veneers and Composite Resin Veneers. Both can be created inside a dental laboratory.
In order to prepare your teeth for veneers, your dentist will need to remove a very thin layer from your teeth - anywhere from 0.5mm to 1.0mm. While your permanent veneers are being fabricated, you will wear temporary ones.
