What exactly is a veneer?+
A thin restoration bonded over the visible surface of a front tooth to change its shape, proportion, colour, texture or small spaces. It is made of porcelain or composite resin.
What can’t veneers do?+
They do not move roots, correct a bite or treat decay and gum inflammation. Significant crowding or rotation is often better addressed with orthodontics.
Is getting veneers a big commitment?+
It generally is. Many involve some enamel removal, and veneers need ongoing care and eventual replacement. Understanding that early helps you decide.
What should I read about besides veneers?+
Teeth whitening, dental bonding and tooth reshaping are worth comparing, along with aligners for alignment concerns. Each suits different goals.
Do I need to know which material I want before asking?+
No. Material is chosen around your teeth, bite and goals after an examination, so you can arrive with no preference at all.
