What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain shells that are custom-made (for shape and colour) to fit your teeth. They are bonded onto the front of the teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.

Advantages of Veneers over White Fillings
- Since veneers are made up of porcelain, they are significantly stronger than white resin (plastic) fillings.
- Veneers have a stronger bond to your teeth reducing the chances of them coming off or chipping as compared to white fillings.
- Porcelain veneers don't stain as much as white plastic fillings.
- Porcelain veneers don’t leak at the margins like white plastic fillings.
Veneers can be usually made by making minimal changes to your existing teeth.
