What is a veneer and when is it used?

Veneers are thin shells made of materials such as ceramic or composite resin, and are placed on the front teeth to improve their appearance and change their color and shape. Veneers are used to correct the following cosmetic defects:

1. Tooth color change: If your teeth are undesirably colored and cannot be improved by teeth whitening, veneers can be used to cover the natural color of the teeth and achieve a brighter, more uniform color.

2. Tooth shape correction: If your teeth are cracked, worn, or uneven in size, veneers can be used to cover these defects and achieve a harmonious and aesthetic appearance.

3. Repairing gaps between teeth: If there are gaps between teeth (also known as internal gaps) and you want to close them, veneers can be used to fill these gaps and improve the appearance of your smile.

4. Correcting crooked teeth: In some cases, you may have crooked or uneven teeth. Cosmetic veneers can be used to correct these curves and achieve the appearance of straight, regular teeth. Cosmetic veneers are usually used in cosmetic cases and to improve the appearance of teeth. The veneers are designed and prepared according to the size, shape and color of the natural teeth to achieve a natural and beautiful result. You should consult a specialized dentist to evaluate your case and advise you on whether cosmetic veneers are the right option to achieve the results you desire.
