Veneers are thin layers of material, often made from porcelain or composite resin, that are placed over the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth by correcting issues such as discoloration, chips, or gaps. The process typically involves a dentist removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth to ensure a proper fit. The application of veneers is a popular cosmetic dental procedure because they can create a natural-looking smile. They are custom-made to match the color and shape of existing teeth, providing a seamless enhancement. With proper care, veneers can last for many years.
