Types |
|
PORCELAIN VENEERS-These types of veneers are made from porcelain and can be used to change the shape, shade, size or position of teeth .They can also be used to close or reduce gaps between the teeth.
Traditional porcelain veneers are constructed in a dental lab with the help of the precision models of the patient’s teeth which are made from impressions that the dentist takes during the initial stages of the treatment process. |

| Composite Veneers |
|
These veneers are made out of the materials that are used for cosmetic bonding and various white fillings. Composite is applied to your tooth surface and polished in a single-sitting to create the veneer surface. Composite veneers are not as long lasting as the porcelain ones so they require replacement every five to six years approximately depending from person to person.
