A veneer is a thin shell — usually porcelain, sometimes composite resin — bonded to the front surface of a tooth to correct its shape, size, or color. Porcelain veneers resist staining better and last longer, typically ten to fifteen years, while composite veneers cost less and can be completed in a single visit.
Getting veneers usually means a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth first, so the shell sits flush rather than bulky. Before committing, most patients see a preview — either digital or a temporary trial veneer — so there are no surprises with the final look.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect the new veneers from chipping.

Because enamel is prepped away for a proper fit, veneers generally aren't meant to be removed and left bare afterward.
Lifespan varies by habits like grinding, but a decade or more is typical for porcelain.
Modern porcelain closely mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an artificial, overly white look.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is generally not painful.
Veneers cover just the front surface of a tooth, while crowns encase the entire visible tooth structure.
Pricing depends on the number of teeth involved and material choice, confirmed during your consultation.
