What are Dental Veneers?

Also known as instant orthodontics, dental veneers are customizable shells of teeth that can correct chips, stains, and even deeply discolored teeth giving one a beautiful smile. Dental veneers as a procedure that masks the visible dental surface of the tooth and it provides a highly conservative approach to esthetic smile makeovers.

There are a few types of dental veneers. Each has distinct features knowing them will guide you to determine which veneer suits you:

Composite Veneers: this type of veneers is the most commonly used treatment. It is not as natural looking as porcelain. Composite veneer treatment requires significantly less time.

Removal Veneers: As the name suggests, they are veneers that allow you to remove them and place them back on your own accord. These veneers will enable you to remove them and clean them as you take them off. Removal veneers can cover the existing tooth flaws and attain the desired aesthetic appearance.

Porcelain Veneers: this type of veneer is considered the highest quality among the other types, it is resistant to stains, discoloration mimics the properties of the natural-looking tooth, and the results are almost always satisfactory.

Instant Veneers: this type of veneer is pre-made and ready to be applied to your tooth. Similar to buying a pair of glasses frame and waiting to install your preferred lens. The dentist will apply minimal alterations to the veneer to better fit your tooth. Similar to composite veneers, they only require a single appointment to be installed.
