Veneer is an ultra-thin, custom-made laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth. It is there either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer, composite or porcelain. A composite veneer is directly placed (built-up in the mouth), and porcelain veneer is indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth.
Veneer is to restore a single tooth that may have been fractured or discolored, or multiple teeth to create a “Hollywood” type of makeover. Many people have small teeth resulting in spaces that may not be easily closed by braces. Some people have worn away the edges of their teeth resulting in a prematurely aged appearance, while others may have crooked teeth. Multiple veneers will close these spaces, lengthen teeth that have been shortened by wear, provide a uniform color, shape, and symmetry, and make the teeth appear straight.
