What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They correct issues like discoloration, chips, and minor misalignment, giving you a balanced, more confident smile. This cosmetic treatment provides a long-lasting, stain-resistant solution.
- Custom-made fit: Designed to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth.
- Cosmetic improvement: Covers discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment.
