Dental veneers are thin shells made of ceramic, up to 0.5mm thick, that cover the outer surface of the tooth, requiring minimal or, in some cases, no grinding of the natural teeth.
Veneers are most commonly used to correct aesthetic dental defects such as color, shape, and tooth position when it is necessary to lengthen short or broken tooth crowns or when functional reasons exist. The production of veneers typically takes 5-7 days.
