Advances in dental sciences have made it more possible than ever before to create a stunningly beautiful look in terms of a smile for just about anyone. Dental veneers are one example of how the science of dentistry has advanced in recent times. For example, veneers are nothing more than custom-made thin shells that are placed over the front of the teeth as a way to enhance overall appearance. Most importantly, veneers are excellent at improving the look of those with stained, chipped or uneven teeth. This is an important consideration because discolored teeth can have a direct impact on self-esteem as well as confidence. Dental veneers are intended to improve one’s smile. Whether it is decay, crooked teeth, stained or discolored teeth as well as even gaps between the teeth, dental veneers are able to make a difference. 

It is a long-term solution for those who have serious cosmetic dental related concerns. During the placement of veneers, your dental care provider will in most cases remove a minimal amount of enamel. The enamel is the thin protective covering or the outer layer of the teeth. This is done as a way to make the restoration permanent and lasting. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of veneers. Ask your dentist for more information on either the porcelain or resin-based composite type veneer treatments. While they look very similar, there are key differences that your dentist can discuss with you further.
