What Is A Dental Veneer?

A close resemblance to tooth enamel, a porcelain veneer is a glass-like ceramic placed over the teeth. The translucent quality of a dental veneer provides a natural look and can be the size and shape of the natural tooth.

Veneers are used both in cosmetic and restorative dentistry applications and Dr. Hakim here at Extraordinary Smile in Palo Alto specializes in these types of procedures. If you have worn, cracked, or chipped teeth, then a porcelain dental veneer can be placed over the surface of the tooth, restoring it to it’s natural beauty. Veneers also serve to protect the surface of a damaged tooth and in some instances can eliminate the necessity of a crown and root canal.

Dental veneers are very thin and require little-to-no tooth reshaping when bonded onto the tooth. Once the veneers are in place, they are strong and durable and can last for many years to come.
