Don't leave everything to chance; keep yourself protected with an insurance
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance.
These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.
Regardless of what causes unattractive teeth, dental veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues, including:
Worn enamel
Tooth enamel can become worn or dulled naturally over time (consuming soft drinks, tea or coffee, smoking and the use of certain medications), or as a result of a genetic predisposition. Veneers are perfect for correcting smiles affected by worn enamel.
Wear and tear
As we age, our teeth naturally begin to wear down. Aged teeth are more likely to have chips, cracks or a generally uneven appearance. Veneers can restore the natural appearance of healthy, youthful teeth.
Genetics
Certain people are born with abnormal spacing between their teeth that widens with age.
Uneven teeth
Uneven teeth can result from the grinding/gnashing of teeth, and/or through general wear and tear. This can lead to bite issues (malocclusion) in addition to cosmetic smile issues.
Discoloration
Stubborn tooth discoloration may not be fully correctable through teeth whitening. In such cases, veneers can offer a simple, cosmetic solution.
Dental veneers give a natural look
The material used with dental veneers is, by nature, tooth-colored and so blends in incredibly well with natural teeth. Due to this, veneers can be used to cover up damaged enamel that has lead to the discoloration of a tooth, although a teeth cleaning procedure may be needed before applying the dental veneers.
Dental veneers are customized to fit your specific needs
Not all dental veneers are the same. In fact, every dental veneer is different and customized based on the reason it is being applied. Some dental veneers may be thicker if used for protection. In some cases, the dental veneer may be longer when used to lengthen a short or chipped tooth.
It takes, on average, one to three dental visits to place dental veneers
Dental veneers can take up to three dental visits, depending on the patient’s needs. In most cases, the first visit is to get an impression of the teeth, and it may take one or two additional visits to appropriately apply the dental veneers.
Dental veneers do not require additional tooth care
Unlike various other teeth improvement options, such as dentures, dental veneers do not require any additional tooth care, other than the usual brushing, flossing and routine dental checkups.
Dental veneers can last for more than 20 years
Depending on how well they are taken care of, how often they are exposed to pressure and the material, dental veneers can, in many cases, last more than 20 years without needing to be replaced. However, it is still important to practice proper oral hygiene with dental veneers.

Porcelain veneers are more expensive than the indirect or direct composite resin alternative. Traditional porcelain veneers cost between $925 and $2,500 per tooth but can last 10 to 15 years. Composite veneers cost approximately $250 to $1500 per tooth and may last between five and seven years.
