Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite bonded to the front of the teeth. They change the colour, shape, size and length of the teeth to correct chips, gaps, stains that do not respond to whitening, and uneven edges. Smile design plans the whole smile together, often previewed before any tooth is touched.
