Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are used to improve the shape, color, and size of teeth, and to correct gaps and misalignments. There are two main types of veneers – porcelain and composite.
Advantages of Dental Veneers
Dental veneers offer a number of advantages, including:
• Improved Appearance: Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of teeth by changing their shape, size, and colour. They can also be used to fill in gaps and correct misalignments.

• Durability: Porcelain veneers are strong and durable, and can last for years with proper care.
• Stain-resistance: Porcelain veneers are resistant to staining, so your teeth will stay bright and white for years.
• Easy Maintenance: Veneers are easy to maintain, as they only need to be cleaned with regular brushing and flossing.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are the most common type of veneer. They are made of a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the front of the teeth. Porcelain veneers are durable and resist staining better than composite veneers. Porcelain veneers also provide the most natural-looking results.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are made of a composite resin material that is applied directly to the tooth. Composite veneers are more affordable than porcelain veneers, but they are not as durable and can stain more easily. Composite veneers also require more maintenance than porcelain veneers, as they may need to be replaced every few years.
