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. A digital or physical mock-up shows the expected shape and shade before the permanent veneers are fabricated.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Grinding at night is a common reason veneers chip early, so a nightguard is often recommended alongside the procedure.
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.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. Neither option is pushed by default; the choice depends on what you're optimizing for.
Some cases qualify for ultra-thin veneers requiring little to no enamel removal. Not every case is a fit, but it's evaluated before committing to a more invasive prep.
Shape and shade are customized so the result looks deliberate, not uniformly artificial. A shade guide and sometimes a trial smile help confirm the choice before the final shells are made.

Since enamel is typically removed for a proper fit, veneers are considered permanent.
With good hygiene, they commonly last ten to fifteen years before replacement is needed.
Modern porcelain mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an obviously artificial look.
Some mild sensitivity afterward is possible, but prep and bonding are done comfortably numbed.
Crowns suit more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface fix.
Pricing depends on how many teeth are involved, confirmed at your consultation.
