Veneers are pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Porcelain veneers are most commonly used when teeth have uneven surfaces, have been chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, or crooked or to close large spaces between teeth. It’s an easy procedure that requires little or no anesthetics.
Porcelain veneers typically last longer than more whitening procedures and are stronger in protecting against stains from coffee, acidic foods, and food coloring. They are permanent since part of your enamel will be removed to place them on your teeth.
