Veneers are a practical and innovative cosmetic dental option for people who want to correct the natural appearance of their smile. Veneers are used to improve the appearance of cracked, discolored, worn, yellowed, or misshapen teeth. Veneers consist of a thin layer placed over the front of the tooth and then bonded into position. We can say that they are a "small thin mask" that covers the front of the tooth with a totally realistic, seamless finish.
