Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length.
Veneers are typically used to fix chipped, discolored, misaligned, or irregularly shaped teeth. They can also be used to close gaps between teeth or to make teeth look longer.
