Veneers go by several names, including dental or porcelain veneers and dental porcelain laminates. They are very thin tooth coverings created to be worn over teeth. These tooth coverings are made from a composite resin mix or from ceramic and are created to match the normal tooth color and to improve the appearance of teeth. Dental veneers only cover the front tooth surface and are bonded to the existing teeth. They are created to match the natural teeth in color, size and length. With proper care, they will last for years.
