A veneer is a thin shell, usually porcelain or sometimes composite resin, bonded to the front of a tooth to reshape it, resize it, or change its color. Porcelain resists staining and typically lasts ten to fifteen years; composite costs less and can often be finished in a single visit.
Getting veneers usually means a thin layer of enamel is removed first, so the shell sits flush instead of bulky. Most patients see a preview before committing, so there are no surprises with the final look.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Grinding at night is a common reason veneers chip early, so a nightguard is often recommended alongside the procedure.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before prep work or lab fabrication begins. You can request tweaks to the preview until the shape and shade feel right.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal. Not every case is a fit, but it's evaluated before committing to a more invasive prep.
Veneers are matched to your natural teeth or your target brighter shade. You see the planned shade against your actual teeth before it's locked in.

Because enamel is prepped away, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare.
A decade or more is typical, though grinding habits can shorten that.
A preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade before the final result is made.
Some mild sensitivity afterward is possible, but prep and bonding are done comfortably numbed.
Veneers cover just the front surface; crowns encase the entire visible tooth.
Pricing depends on how many teeth are involved, confirmed at your consultation.
