A veneer is a thin shell — usually porcelain, sometimes composite resin — bonded to the front surface of a tooth to correct its shape, size, or color. Porcelain veneers resist staining better and last longer, typically ten to fifteen years, while composite veneers cost less and can be completed in a single visit.
Getting veneers usually means a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth first, so the shell sits flush rather than bulky. A same-visit digital mock-up shows you the expected shape and shade before the permanent veneers are fabricated in a lab.
Veneers won't stop new decay from forming on the rest of the tooth, so routine cleanings and exams still matter just as much afterward. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect the new veneers from chipping.
You approve the shape and shade digitally before the lab fabricates the final porcelain shells.
Choose long-lasting porcelain or same-day composite bonding depending on budget and timeline.

Since a thin layer of enamel is typically removed to fit them, veneers are considered a permanent, irreversible procedure.
With good hygiene, porcelain veneers commonly last ten to fifteen years before needing replacement.
A digital preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade so the result looks intentional rather than obviously fake.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is generally not painful.
