Veneers
A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth — used to change its shape, length, or color without covering the whole tooth the way a crown does. It's a common option for chipped, uneven, or heavily discolored front teeth.

What it is
A veneer is a thin, tooth-colored shell (usually porcelain or a composite material) bonded directly to the front surface of a tooth. Unlike a crown, which covers the entire tooth, a veneer only addresses the visible front surface — making it a good option when the underlying tooth is structurally fine but you want to change how it looks: shape, length, spacing, or color.
