Esthetics

Veneers are thin sheets of ceramic or porcelain generally, although they can also be made of other materials such as composite, which are bonded to the front or vestibular side of the teeth using a cement or a special resin.

They are the ideal choice in cases where the original tooth has a dark color and irregular shapes. They are also a good option for fractured teeth, if there are spaces between teeth, as well as for some cases in which the position of the teeth is compromised and there are minor problems related to occlusion. Sometimes, superficial stains on the teeth do not respond well to whiteners and, in these situations, veneers can also be the ideal solution. Generally speaking, we can say that they are used to:

• Correct the shape and size of teeth.
• Correct color alterations
• Correct fractures
