A veneer is a thin shell, usually porcelain or sometimes composite resin, bonded to the front of a tooth to reshape it, resize it, or change its color. Composite bonding is quicker and cheaper per tooth; porcelain holds up longer and mimics natural enamel more convincingly.
Getting veneers usually means a thin layer of enamel is removed first, so the shell sits flush instead of bulky. Most patients see a preview before committing, so there are no surprises with the final look.
Veneers won't stop new decay from forming on the rest of the tooth, so routine cleanings still matter just as much afterward. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect new veneers from chipping.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before prep work or lab fabrication begins. Adjustments to the mock-up happen before any permanent work, not after.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal. Not every case is a fit, but it's evaluated before committing to a more invasive prep.
Shape and shade are customized so the result looks deliberate, not uniformly artificial. A shade guide and sometimes a trial smile help confirm the choice before the final shells are made.
