What is a Veneer Tooth?
A veneer tooth is a tooth that has a thin layer of porcelain or a resin composite laminate bonded onto the surface of the tooth. Most patients who choose to have veneers applied do so to improve the aesthetics and appearance of their teeth. The laminate is designed to mimic the outward appearance of natural teeth, and is actually quite thin. In many instances it is no thicker than a fingernail or a contact lens.
