Veneers

A veneer is a very thin layer of restorative material usually placed over a front tooth surface. The purpose of veneer is to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface. There are two types of material used to make a veneer, composite resin and porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth) on the tooth surface, or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth.
