What are dental veneers?

Dental Veneers are the tooth-coloured material. They improve the teeth appearance by covering them. They change the colour, length and shape of the teeth according to one’s choice.

Porcelain or composite materials make dental Veneers. The porcelain veneers best mimic the light-reflecting properties of the natural teeth. Moreover, they can also remove stains better. On the other hand, composite veneers are easy to repair and get fixed mainly in one visit to a consultant. Best of all, these are cost effective.
