Understanding Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They are a popular cosmetic dentistry option for addressing a range of dental concerns, including discoloration, chips, cracks, and misalignment. Each type of veneer offers unique benefits, catering to different needs and preferences.
