Boost your confidence with veneers. Porcelain veneers give patients the opportunity to customize their new smile, changing the size, shape, and color of their teeth. A veneer is a thin layer of material, predominantly made of porcelain, placed over your tooth after the dentist removes a thin layer of the enamel. The thin layer is removed so the new teeth will be at the same level as the original ones. One great thing about veneers is that they last 10 to 12 years, sometimes more. Veneers are a most expensive way to customize your smile, but they last a long time saving you in the long run.
