Cosmetic
Veneer
A veneer is a thin, custom-made shell of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of a tooth to improve its colour, shape, or alignment.
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years and require minimal removal of natural tooth structure (around 0.5 mm). They are popular for closing small gaps, masking discolouration that does not respond to whitening, and reshaping worn or chipped teeth. Veneers are bonded using universal adhesives such as 3M Scotchbond Universal Plus.
