A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain, or other ‘composite’ material, which fits over the front of each tooth giving an even and white appearance. Veneers can be placed over one or over many teeth, as required.
Veneers can last for many years, but they are prone to damage – i.e. cracking and chipping – just like your real teeth. You and your dentist can discuss ways to prolong the life of your veneers.
No. If your lower jaw sticks out further than your upper jaw veneers may not be suitable for you. If you have this type of ‘bite’ you would be likely to chip the veneers too easily.
