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 discolored teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, uneven tooth shapes, or minor misalignment. Veneers are typically made from porcelain or composite resin and are carefully designed to match the natural color and shape of surrounding teeth.

The process of getting veneers usually involves several steps. First, the dentist evaluates the patient’s teeth and discusses the desired smile outcome. A small amount of enamel may be removed from the tooth surface to ensure a proper fit for the veneers. Impressions of the teeth are then taken and sent to a dental laboratory where the custom veneers are created.
