If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malpositioned, veneers will give you a natural, beautiful appearance with minimal or no tooth adjustment at all in some cases.
A veneer is a facing on the front of your tooth, usually a top tooth, it is just like a false finger nail. They are made of porcelain and are used mainly for cosmetic improvements.
Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little preparation of the tooth is needed.
Porcelain veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth.
A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally.
Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics
(braces) are not suitable.
If one tooth is slightly out of position,
a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with
the others.

your dentist may advise you that conventional veneers are more appropriate if your teeth are overlapping or extensively discoloured.
Conventional veneers do require more tooth adjustment and once fitted require maintenance and periodic replacement.
As always, your dentist will advise you which treatments are right for you and you will receive a written treatment plan at the beginning of your treatment.
