Veneers

A veneer is a thin layer of tooth-coloured material that is put onto the front of the tooth to make it look better. This is done because the tooth might have been damaged by decay or an accident, or might be badly discoloured for some reason.

Veneers can greatly improve your appearance. They hide imperfections and require very little natural tooth preparation.

Veneers are usually made our of porcelain and cemented to the tooth.

Some veneers are built up on the tooth directly using the same material that is used for white fillings.

If the tooth is strong, a veneer is often a better option than a crown for improving a tooth's appearance.
