A veneer is a thin shell — usually porcelain, sometimes composite resin — bonded to the front surface of a tooth to correct its shape, size, or color. Composite bonding is faster and cheaper per tooth, while porcelain holds up longer and mimics natural enamel translucency more convincingly.
Getting veneers usually means a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth first, so the shell sits flush rather than bulky. Before committing, most patients see a preview — either digital or a temporary trial veneer — so there are no surprises with the final look.
Veneers won't stop new decay from forming on the rest of the tooth, so routine cleanings and exams still matter just as much afterward. Grinding at night is one of the more common reasons veneers chip early, so a nightguard is often recommended alongside the procedure.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before any enamel is prepped or veneers ordered.
Choose long-lasting porcelain or same-day composite bonding depending on budget and timeline.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal.
Shape and shade are customized so veneers look intentional, not artificially uniform.

Because enamel is prepped away for a proper fit, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare afterward.
Lifespan varies by habits like grinding, but a decade or more is typical for porcelain.
Modern porcelain closely mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an artificial, overly white look.
Some mild sensitivity is possible afterward, but the prep and bonding process is done comfortably numbed.
Crowns are typically used for more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface solution.
Pricing depends on the number of teeth involved and material choice, confirmed during your consultation.
