Thin facings bonded to the front of teeth to change their shape or colour.
What it involves
A veneer is a thin shell, usually porcelain, bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Preparing the tooth normally means removing a small amount of enamel, which does not grow back.
Who it suits
Suitable for healthy teeth where the concern is appearance rather than function. Not a solution for decay or gum disease, which must be treated first.
Risks and things to consider
Preparing a tooth for a veneer is irreversible. Veneers can chip or debond and will need replacing eventually. Some people experience lasting sensitivity. Because the change is permanent and cosmetic, we would rather you took longer to decide than felt hurried.
