What it is

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or ceramic bonded to the front surface of teeth to change their color, shape or alignment. They usually require removing a small amount of enamel, and the process is hard to reverse.

Trips needed

Typically 2 visits: one for preparation and impressions, and one for bonding. Some clinics need a third visit for adjustments.
