Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of medical-grade ceramic that are permanently bonded to the front surface of your teeth, which masks imperfections like chips, stains, gaps, or minor misalignments.

The veneers work by replacing the outer layer of enamel, requiring slight, permanent reduction of the tooth structure (usually 0.3-0.5mm) to create a natural-looking, durable, and stain-resistant smile that typically lasts 10–15 years.
