A veneer is something used in dentistry. It is a material place over a tooth, for two main purposes.

Veneers are highly recommended and used for people that want healthier teeth, and have a better smile. Veneers are made from porcelain. Porcelain has a very natural appearance, they are also translucent meaning it stains on the surface rather than bouncing of it. Porcelain helps the reflection come from the inside of the tooth, giving an appearance of all natural teeth. Even though porcelain veneers are not 100% resistant to stains, when cared for properly they are able to retain their color. Another benefit of veneers is that they are made to match a person’s natural teeth by shape, size, and color. They are made from the mold of a tooth, so in this instance the doctor performing the procedure helps the patient select a color that compliments their natural teeth. This allows the veneer not to stand out from the surrounding teeth in any way.
Another example, is that dental veneers do not require extractions or reshaping of the tooth. In this procedure a little work must be done, in order to remove a small amount of enamel from the front of the teeth. If there is any damage to the teeth, veneers help the teeth become reinforced, which allows the patients to enjoy their favorite foods without any aches and pains. Getting veneers in the teeth causes minimal pain and discomfort, however the procedure as stated before is relatively quick. They are mainly no side effects to the procedure, however the only discomfort a person would most likely face afterwards would be minimal sensitivity to heat and cold in the tooth the veneer was placed.
Veneers help fix any imperfections in a person’s smile, such as crooked teeth or if they are spaced to far apart. This helps a person have no need for braces, and waiting years and years to have healthier teeth. Since veneers are very versatile they are very simple to take care of. To maintain it all you have to do is practice good oral hygiene, by brushing flossing, and getting regular check ups and cleanings from the dentist.
