Veneers are wafer thin, custom-made shells of tooth colored materials, strong, bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve the appearance.
Veneers are used to repair chipped, stained, fluorosed teeth and help in closing gaps between the teeth.
Veneers may also correct slightly crowded or overlapping teeth.
If your teeth got discolored with age, veneers may improve their appearance.
Veneers are conservative approach than crowns, to change teeth's color and shape and are stain resistant.
For healthy teeth, veneers can be a good substitute for crowns (also called caps), which require removal of more of your natural tooth structure.
