VEENERS
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, improving their appearance. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin and are bonded to the teeth to enhance their colour, shape, size, or alignment. Veneers are a popular choice for those looking to address cosmetic issues such as discolouration, chips, gaps, or uneven teeth.
