Porcelain dental veneers are a beautiful way to correct discolored, repair chipped, broken, or misshapen teeth, lengthen and reshape teeth, and also effectively close spaces between teeth.

The porcelain dental veneer has several advantages over other tooth restoration procedures. Porcelain is an extremely durable material with a color, translucency, and texture that is similar to tooth enamel. It is not susceptible to decay and resists staining while maintaining a natural appearance. 

The procedure involves lightly grinding the front and cutting surfaces of the teeth by approximately 0.5 mm and 2.0 mm respectively. The wafer-thin porcelain veneers will eventually be set in place of this enamel. A mold is then taken of your teeth to complement your smile
