Veneers are essentially a disguise for unattractive teeth, in much the same way that veneered furniture is a sheet of thin, good-quality wood stuck over cheaper, inferior quality wood. Dental veneers are extremely hard-wearing slivers of material that are affixed to the front of the tooth (or teeth), obscuring the original. They can be used on broken, chipped, cracked, misshapen and discoloured teeth and may be applied to a single tooth, or, if applied as a row of four, six or eight teeth, will completely transform your smile.
