Porcelain laminate veneers are bonded onto the tooth surface. They can be used for improving the shade of the teeth when bleaching is not possible, closing spaces between teeth and correcting misaligned teeth.

The tooth is reduced by about half a millimetre and the impression is recorded to allow the technician to make the individual veneers. These are then tried in and bonded into position.

Porcelain veneers are restorations with a high success rate. They are however an irreversible treatment option as some preparation of the tooth is required before fitting.
