Veneers may be beneficial for people who want a long-term solution to persistent cosmetic concerns—particularly those that do not respond to other dental treatments, such as teeth whitening, braces, or retainers.

During the veneering procedure, your dentist will typically remove a small amount of tooth enamel, temporize it in the new look for your approval, then fuse the veneer to your tooth via a bonding process. When complete, the veneer becomes a permanent part of your tooth, more attractive and just as strong and cleanable as the original.

Benefits:

• Very strong and long-lasting with proper care
• Natural-looking surface and feel
• Less tooth enamel removal than with a crown
• Does not easily stain
