Porcelain Veneers
A veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface. There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer, composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth) in the office, or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only be fabricated in a dental laboratory.
