What are veneers?

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of teeth to change their colour, shape or size. Porcelain veneers usually need a small amount of enamel removed, which is not reversible. They are a cosmetic treatment.

Veneers: specialist or general dentist?

Veneers are placed by general and cosmetic dentists. There is no recognised cosmetic dentistry specialty; a prosthodontist may be recommended for extensive or complex cases. Ask to see the dentist's own before-and-after cases.
