Dental veneers are thin layers of porcelain or ceramic that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. Veneers can help correct teeth imperfections, such as decay, cracks, or stains, and give the teeth a whiter and more even appearance.
How are dental veneers placed?
First, the dentist will prepare the teeth by slightly reducing their size to fit the veneers. Then, the dentist will take an impression of the teeth to make the veneers in the lab. After that, the veneers are placed on the teeth and bonded using an adhesive.
