Dental veneers, also called shell veneers, are thin shells of porcelain that are attached to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. They are often used to correct discoloration, unevenness, gaps or damage to teeth. The process involves grinding away a small amount of the tooth's surface to make room for the veneer, which is then cemented in place to create a natural and aesthetic result.
Why have dental veneers become so popular?
The reason why veneers have become so popular is their ability to give an immediate and lasting boost to the smile. They are very durable and can last for many years with proper oral hygiene. In addition, they look natural and can be fully customized to the patient's wishes in shape and color. For many, it's an investment in confidence and the opportunity to finally get the smile they've always dreamed of.
