A veneer is a thin shell, usually porcelain or sometimes composite resin, bonded to the front of a tooth to reshape it, resize it, or change its color. Porcelain resists staining and typically lasts ten to fifteen years; composite costs less and can often be finished in a single visit.
Getting veneers usually means a thin layer of enamel is removed first, so the shell sits flush instead of bulky. Most patients see a preview before committing, 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 still matter just as much afterward. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect new veneers from chipping.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before prep work or lab fabrication begins. Adjustments to the mock-up happen before any permanent work, not after.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal. Whether you qualify depends on your existing tooth shape and alignment, assessed at consultation.
Veneers are matched to your natural teeth or your target brighter shade. A shade guide and sometimes a trial smile help confirm the choice before the final shells are made.

Because enamel is prepped away, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare.
With good hygiene, they commonly last ten to fifteen years before replacement is needed.
Modern porcelain mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an obviously artificial look.
Some mild sensitivity afterward is possible, but prep and bonding are done comfortably numbed.
Veneers cover just the front surface; crowns encase the entire visible tooth.
Pricing depends on how many teeth are involved, confirmed at your consultation.
