Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of teeth by correcting issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment.

Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains from coffee, tea, and smoking, keeping your smile brighter for longer.
