A Porcelain veneer is a thin piece of porcelain used to design the natural look of teeth. It also provides strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel and also has a superior appearance. A porcelain veneer is made by a dental technician and since porcelain has the best light reflecting properties of any dental material currently available, it gives your teeth a very natural and attractive appearance. They resist stains from coffee, tea or smoking, and last longer than composite veneers.
