What it is
Veneers are not the first answer to every smile question
Quick Answer
Veneers cover the visible face of teeth to change colour or shape. They are useful for some chips, worn edges or stubborn colour. They are excessive if a night guard, whitening or orthodontics would solve the problem with less drilling.

What is cosmetic dentistry?
Veneers are thin coverings on the visible face of teeth, in porcelain or composite, used to change colour or shape. They are useful for some chips, worn edges or stubborn colour. They are excessive if a night guard, whitening or orthodontics would solve the problem with less drilling.
Who may need it?
When the front surface needs a new shape or a colour that bleaching cannot reach, a veneer can be conservative compared with a full crown—but it is still irreversible if enamel is prepared.
Care
Avoid opening packets with teeth. A night guard may be advised if you grind.
Common signs people notice
- Chips on front teeth
- Uneven edges
- Colour that does not bleach
- Small gaps in selected bites

Composite bonding, porcelain veneers, crowns, whitening, aligners.
Porcelain is not automatically more “natural” than well-planned composite.
No packet-opening with teeth. See the clinic if a veneer loosens—do not use household glue.
What Happens During Treatment?
-
Whether bonding or orthodontics would be kinder is discussed first.
