Dental Veneers
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to change your look or appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length.

What are the types of dental veneers?
- Porcelain veneers: Durable, stain-resistant, and natural-looking.
- Composite resin veneers: More affordable but may stain over time and have a shorter lifespan.
Who gets Dental Veneers?
First, you will talk to your dentist at Best Smiles Advanced Dental Clinic about the result you want. During this appointment, your dentist will look at your teeth to make sure dental veneers are right for you. You’ll discuss the procedure and some of its limits. They may take X-rays and possibly make impressions of your mouth and teeth.
1. Preparation : To get a tooth ready for a dental veneer, your dentist will reshape the tooth surface. They’ll take off an amount roughly equal to the thickness of the veneer that will be added to the tooth surface. You and your dentist will decide whether they numb the area before trimming off the enamel.
2. Bonding : Your dentist will place the veneer on your tooth to check its fit and color. They’ll remove and trim the veneer – probably a few times – to get the proper fit before they cement it to your tooth. Next, to prepare your tooth to receive the veneer, it will be cleaned, polished, and etched. Etching roughens the tooth to allow for a strong bonding process. A special cement is applied to the veneer, and it is then placed on your tooth.
Dental Veneers are often used on teeth that:
- Are discolored because of:
- Root canal treatment
- Stains from tetracycline or other drugs
- Excessive fluoride
- Large resin fillings
- Other causes
- Are worn down
- Are chipped or broken
- Are crooked, uneven, or oddly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
- Have gaps between them (to close the space)
Dental Veneer Procedure
Getting a dental veneer usually requires three trips to the dentist – one for a consultation and two to make and put on the veneers. This can happen on one tooth or many teeth at the same time.

The process usually involves these steps:
- Consultation: Discuss your goals and ensure veneers are suitable for you.
- Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth to make space for the veneers.
- Impressions: A mold of your teeth is taken to create the veneers.
- Placement: The veneers are bonded to your teeth with a strong adhesive and adjusted for a perfect fit.

- Porcelain veneers are not easily stained.
- A color can be selected to make darker teeth appear brighter.
