Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. It is like placing a perfectly molded cap over an existing tooth to eliminate gaps or chips in a person's smile.
Veneers are made by a dental technician, usually in a dental lab, working from a model provided by your dentist. Most patients choose porcelain veneers for veneer durability and appearance. Once the veneer is prepared, the dentist removes a portion of your tooth enamel and adheres the veneer.
Many people use veneers to correct damaged or chipped teeth or to straighten crooked smiles. At Biltmore Dental Center, we have extensive training in cosmetic dentistry and veneer placement. We love to see patients become happy with a smile they may not have enjoyed before veneers.
