A veneer is a thin shell — usually porcelain, sometimes composite resin — bonded to the front surface of a tooth to correct its shape, size, or color. Porcelain veneers resist staining better and last longer, typically ten to fifteen years, while composite veneers cost less and can be completed in a single visit.
A thin layer of enamel is typically prepped off before bonding, which is why the process is considered permanent rather than reversible. Before committing, most patients see a preview — either digital or a temporary trial veneer — so there are no surprises with the final look.
Veneers won't stop new decay from forming on the rest of the tooth, so routine cleanings and exams still matter just as much afterward. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect the new veneers from chipping.
A digital mock-up shows your expected new smile before any enamel is prepped or veneers ordered.
Both material options are available, with your provider explaining the tradeoffs for your specific case.

Since a thin layer of enamel is typically removed to fit them, veneers are considered a permanent, irreversible procedure.
With good hygiene, porcelain veneers commonly last ten to fifteen years before needing replacement.
A digital preview lets you fine-tune shape and shade so the result looks intentional rather than obviously fake.
Some mild sensitivity is possible afterward, but the prep and bonding process is done comfortably numbed.
Crowns are typically used for more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface solution.
