I like to explain a veneer as a process for your tooth similar to that of a press-on-nail for your fingernail. A porcelain veneer is made of ceramic and once bonded to your tooth is as strong as our tooth structure. Veneers are esthetic treatment options to restore spacing between teeth, discoloration, rotations, chips, etc. A veneer is a long term treatment option as opposed to cosmetic resin bonding, which has a shorter esthetic lifespan.
