We've all seen images in social media where a persons teeth look too good to be real. That's mostly likely because they aren't! What you see in these situations are probably veneers, and more people have them than you think.
They are done not only to achieve that perfect smile, but also to cover natural tooth discolouration, chips and general wear and tear.
Veneers are similar to crowns in that they are a porcelain or resin based material that covers the tooth. The main difference is that veneers only cover the front of the tooth and are done only on the teeth you see when smiling.
As always, good oral hygiene and regular dental check ups will help to extend the life of you veneers.
