Dental Veneers: A Perfect Smile

Dental veneers are thin shells made of ceramic or composite material that are applied to the visible surface of teeth to enhance their appearance, correct imperfections, and create a radiant smile.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

Aesthetic

They correct imperfections such as stained, chipped, misaligned, spaced, or irregularly shaped teeth.

Durability

Made from durable materials, veneers can last from 10 to 15 years with proper care.

Comfort

Veneers are thin and smooth, providing a natural and comfortable feel in the mouth.

Ease of Maintenance

Regular brushing and routine dental visits are sufficient to maintain the veneers’ shine.

Types of Veneers

Ceramic Veneers

More durable, they offer a natural and long-lasting appearance. They are ideal for front teeth and can be customized to achieve a perfect shade.

Composite Veneers

More affordable, these are made of resin and applied directly to the teeth. They are often used for minor repairs.
