Veneers are thin, tooth-coloured porcelain shells that are custom made to bond to the front surface of your teeth, protecting the tooth surface from damage and giving you a whole new look. 
They can also:

• Improve the colour of your teeth
• Close spaces between teeth
• Enhance the shape of your teeth
• Amend the length or size of teeth
• Realign crooked teeth
• Maintain your natural tooth structure
• Will not stain from coffee or tea
• Custom colour shading is available

You could describe porcelain veneers as a ‘dental facelift’. They are not only used to boost the appearance of your teeth, but are also used to eliminate any gaps between the teeth and address the issues of a ‘gummy’ smile or short or small teeth.

Another benefit of porcelain veneers is that they can be used as a substitute for teeth that may be misaligned or rotated teeth without lengthy orthodontic treatments.

The bond of the veneer to the underlying tooth below is the most important factor when getting porcelain veneers. Your teeth therefore need to be relatively intact and minimally restored or filled. Veneers are permanent solutions to your dental issues, being very strong and resistant to most foods.
