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.
Natural Appearance: Veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth and can be color-matched to your existing teeth.
Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains from coffee, tea, and smoking, keeping your smile brighter for longer.
Durability: With proper care, veneers can last up to 15 years or more.
Minimally Invasive: Veneers require less tooth enamel removal compared to crowns or caps.
Instant Smile Makeover: Veneers provide an immediate improvement to the appearance of your teeth, offering a quick and effective way to enhance your smile.
