More and more, people are turning to veneers to change the way they feel about their smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic shells, much like fake fingernails, that fit your teeth. Used in the place of crowns, veneers are used to correct teeth that are broken or chipped, darkly discolored, or even the gaps between teeth. By using veneers instead of crowns we can avoid the need for so much drilling, and still get the aesthetically pleasing results we are looking for.
