Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural look of teeth,while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. It is often the material of choice for those looking to make slight position alterations, or to change tooth shape, size, and/or color.
The closest conservative cosmetic alternative to porcelain is composite resin. Composite resin is a tooth-colored filling material that may be used to form dental veneers. Dental crowns may also be used to correct the same problems that dental veneerscorrect, however it is a much less conservative procedure.
