Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their aesthetic appearance. Often referred to as smile enhancement shells or cosmetic tooth coverings, they function as a custom facade to address common imperfections such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignments.

At Smilo Family Dental, these tooth restoration layers are applied using minimally invasive techniques to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. There are two primary types of veneers available:

• Porcelain Veneers: Known for their exceptional durability and natural translucency, these mimic the look of real teeth and are highly resistant to stains. They typically last between 10 to 15 years.
• Composite Veneers: A more affordable and quicker alternative that can often be applied in a single visit, though they may require more frequent touch-ups over time.

By bonding these shells to the teeth, patients can achieve a brighter, more even smile and enhanced self-esteem. The procedure involves precision diagnostics, such as iTero digital scanners, to ensure the veneers are tailored to the individual’s unique smile needs.
