Dental veneers are increasingly popular as they are a great option for closing gaps, straightening crowding or disguising discoloured teeth. These wafer-thin laminates or shells are tooth- coloured material (porcelain, ceramic or composite bonding material). They are “cemented” to the front surface of the tooth to improve their cosmetic appearance.

The great advantages of veneers over other treatments are that the procedure often needs little or no anaesthesia, with little or no tooth structure needing removed.
