Dental veneers (porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of porcelain which are of tooth color and are designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth with special adhesives resins, changing the teeth color, shape, size, or length. Veneers are used to re-create the natural look of the teeth.
