What Are Veneers?
Before deciding on veneers, it’s important to understand what they are and how they work. Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to your natural teeth to improve their appearance. They are not used for missing teeth and can only be placed on teeth that are free of decay. This ensures that no bacteria are trapped beneath the veneer.
When applying veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the teeth. This step ensures the veneers sit flush with your gums for a natural look and helps prevent damage or displacement.
