Veneers

Often referred to as "laminates," veneers are an artificial filling material, occasionally plastic or composite, but most often porcelain, that is used to provide a highly aesthetic covering over the visible surface of a tooth; thin layers are bonded to your teeth with a special adhesive to give them a more natural, beautiful appearance. Veneers can be used to close gaps, lengthen short teeth, repair unsightly and stained bonding, brighten discolored teeth and restore function.
