Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are commonly used to correct cosmetic concerns such as stained teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, uneven shapes, and minor misalignment. Veneers are typically made from porcelain or composite resin and are designed to closely match the natural color and appearance of teeth.

The process of getting veneers usually involves a consultation, preparation, and placement. During the preparation stage, the dentist may remove a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface to ensure the veneers fit naturally. Impressions of the teeth are then taken and sent to a dental laboratory where the veneers are carefully crafted according to the patient’s smile design.
