Veneer
An esthetic prosthesis in which a thin porcelain shell is bonded to the front surface of the tooth.
After the tooth surface is prepared minimally, a thin ceramic shell is bonded to improve color, shape, and gaps. It is used when discoloration is pronounced or when the shape of the front teeth is to be refined, and it serves as an alternative in cases where whitening has limitations.
