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. Composite bonding is quicker and cheaper per tooth; porcelain holds up longer and mimics natural enamel more convincingly.
Getting veneers usually means a thin layer of enamel is removed first, so the shell sits flush instead of bulky. A digital or physical mock-up shows the expected shape and shade before the permanent veneers are fabricated.
Veneers won't stop new decay from forming on the rest of the tooth, so routine cleanings still matter just as much afterward. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect new veneers from chipping.
You approve shape and shade digitally before the lab makes the final porcelain shells. Adjustments to the mock-up happen before any permanent work, not after.
Both material options are explained with their tradeoffs for your specific case. Cost, longevity, and turnaround time are laid out side by side before you decide.
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.
Veneers are matched to your natural teeth or your target brighter shade. 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.
A decade or more is typical, though grinding habits can shorten that.
A preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade before the final result is made.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the process itself generally isn't painful.
Crowns suit more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface fix.
