A dental veneer is a thin, custom-made shell designed to cover the front surface of a tooth. Applied with a bonding agent or resin, they are intended to improve the appearance of a tooth, repair or cover light damage, or change the size, shape, or color of a tooth. Made from a variety of materials, veneers are a common and safe procedure.
Dental veneers are generally made of two materials: composite resin and porcelain. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and developed in the shape of natural teeth to enhance the look of the smile, whereas composite resin veneers are created by a resin material, which is used in the same manner.
The process of getting dental veneers usually requires multiple visits to your dentist. The initial visit will be a consultation, during which your dentist will discuss the results you want from your veneer, examine your teeth to make sure a dental veneer is a right option for you, and maybe take some x-rays or take impressions of your mouth or teeth. All of this will help your dentist craft the right veneer or veneers for you. On subsequent visits, your dentist will begin the process of installing your veneer. They may need to reshape your tooth surface in order to accommodate the veneer.

Generally, the whole process involves little or no discomfort for the patient.
When it comes to the durability of veneers, studies have shown that porcelain veneers can last for 10 to 20 years with proper care and maintenance, whereas composite resin veneers can last for 5 to 6 years with care.
