Dental veneers are thin porcelain or resin shells that are bonded to the surface of a tooth to enhance the aesthetic aspect of a smile. Veneers may also be used to alter the shape or colour of teeth or to fill spaces between them, giving the patient a brighter smile.

Porcelain veneers require an impression to be taken and are produced in laboratories, costing more than resin veneers, but they are more durable and less likely to stain.
