They are the commonest forms for cosmetic dentistry. Their main purpose is to cover up flaws in the teeth, such as:

• A gap tooth
• Chipped teeth
• Cracked teeth
• Stained/yellowed teeth
• Uneven teeth

These custom-made prosthetics fit perfectly with the natural tooth. They improve appearance and increase function.

There are many kinds of dental veneers. However, dentists prefer the porcelain and composite versions. This is because these are the highly durable and cost-effective. They are also the safest. In comparison
with metal veneers- another popular choice- composite and porcelain veneers are completely non-toxic. Metal veneers leach into the system with continuous usage, which is harmful to the body.

Porcelain and composite veneers do not contain any harmful substances. Their erosion will not harm you.

These thin shell-like structures mimic the shape of your natural teeth. Getting them is a two-day procedure. On day one, the dentist will grind the teeth to the desired shape and make a mold. You will get a temporary replacement while the veneer is made. On the second day, the dentist will fit your tooth with the veneer.

These are made of resin and acrylic. They look exactly the same as your teeth. There are two types of
composite veneers:

Direct: The dentist will apply the composite resin material to your prepped teeth.
Indirect: The veneer is made from a mold the dentist makes of your tooth.

These are primarily a cosmetic procedure. Their main purpose is to improve appearance; however, they do have an impact on function when they fix the minor misalignments. You are a candidate for getting veneers if you have:

• Bite issues
• Gaps between the teeth
• Misaligned teeth
• Smaller teeth
• An uneven smile
• Minimally crowded teeth
• Worn out fillings and restorations
• Stained teeth from tobacco and smoking
• Stained teeth from fluorosis or medication

• They have a lifespan of 5-10 years.
• They are more pocket-friendly.
• It’s a same day procedure. You don’t have to schedule multiple visits.
• They look very similar to natural teeth, and do not chip easily.

• They are very long-lasting at 15-20 years.
• Aesthetically, it is the closest to teeth enamel, down to the shine.
• These can resist chipping and staining very well due to the material.

There are advantages to both kinds. Your choice will depend on your budget and lifestyle.

• Composite costs less than porcelain. Consider this, since veneers are a cosmetic procedure and most insurances will not cover them.
• Composite veneers can be easily fixed once they wear off. Refitting porcelain veneers is more invasive.
• Composite veneers are more likely to stain due to their porous nature. You will need to lay off wines, smoking, tea, etc.
