Veneers...what are they?

 Veneers are a great way to improve smiles without excessively affecting the teeth involved.  When we speak about veneers we are usually talking about a thin layer or Porcelain bonded to the front surface of on or many teeth.  While other materials can be used, such as composite resins used for tooth coloured fillings   ( people often refer to this as "bonding"), porcelain is most often recommended for its beauty and life like appearance.  A great example of how we can use Porcelain Veneers is Martin, seen here.  A big day was coming up, he was getting married and this wasn't the look Martin and his bride wanted forever recorded in their wedding album. 

Using a single porcelain veneer to replace an old worn composite filling/veneer  we were able give Martin a great smile!
