A porcelain veneer, also called a dental veneer, is an ultra-thin shell that a dentist can attach to the surface of a tooth in order to obscure cosmetic concerns like chips, cracks, or stains. Each shell is made from porcelain or similar materials that flawlessly resemble the appearance of a tooth. Because of their natural-looking results and the relative simplicity of the placement procedure, porcelain veneers have become one of the most popular treatment options in cosmetic dentistry.
