A veneer is a thin shell, usually porcelain or sometimes composite resin, bonded to the front of a tooth to reshape it, resize it, or change its color. Porcelain resists staining and typically lasts ten to fifteen years; composite costs less and can often be finished in a single visit.
A small amount of enamel prep is typical, which is part of why the process is considered permanent. Most patients see a preview before committing, so there are no surprises with the final look.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect new veneers from chipping.
You approve shape and shade digitally before the lab makes the final porcelain shells. You can request tweaks to the preview until the shape and shade feel right.
Long-lasting porcelain or same-day composite bonding, depending on budget and timeline. Cost, longevity, and turnaround time are laid out side by side before you decide.
Minimal-prep veneers preserve more natural tooth structure when your case allows it. Whether you qualify depends on your existing tooth shape and alignment, assessed at consultation.
Veneers are matched to your natural teeth or your target brighter shade. A shade guide and sometimes a trial smile help confirm the choice before the final shells are made.

Because enamel is prepped away, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare.
A decade or more is typical, though grinding habits can shorten that.
Modern porcelain mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an obviously artificial look.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the process itself generally isn't painful.
Crowns suit more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface fix.
