Porcelain veneers are custom-made thin porcelain shells that are placed on the front of the teeth to improve the appearance and strength.

Porcelain veneers provide the most aesthetic result for moderate cosmetic problems such as gaps, chips, small cracks, short or discoloured teeth. The veneers are permanently bonded to the teeth, creating a strong and lasting outcome. Porcelain veneers can be placed on one or several teeth, as needed, to achieve the desired effect.

Alternatives to Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are used mainly to address cosmetic concerns. Other excellent options include composite veneers (a more affordable alternative, which also look very natural, though they may be slightly less durable), teeth whitening (which may be preferable if your main concern is the colour of your teeth), and orthodontics (often recommended where there are significant issues with the alignment and spacing of your teeth).

Porcelain veneers achieve an excellent aesthetic result, but are not generally used for structural problems. Where the tooth is weak or compromised, a porcelain crown would instead be used to strengthen and protect it, and can provide an equally aesthetic result.
