Veneers
Of all the methods available today for changing and improving the look of your smile, veneers are among the most popular and successful. They are very versatile, used to fix a single tooth, or up to 20 teeth. They are very thin laminates that are placed over the front surface of teeth.
Veneers are typically used to improve mild to moderate tooth rotations (instant orthodontics), cover stained teeth that don’t respond to tooth whitening, restore chipped or worn teeth and to close spaces.
