IN SUMMARY→
A dental veneer is a thin shell of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front surface of a tooth to change its shape, color, length, or alignment. Porcelain resists staining and reflects light much like natural enamel, while composite can often be placed in a single visit. A small amount of enamel is usually reduced so the veneer sits flush. Veneers at Lifetime Dental in Riverside, CA are planned as a set so the result stays balanced across the smile.
