Porcelain Veneers: These are very thin ceramic “shells” fabricated in a dental laboratory. Shaped like a tooth, they are bonded onto slightly prepared teeth. They aim to correct discolouration, morphological imperfections, close gaps, and address mild tooth crowding.

Composite veneers: This is a very thin layer of composite resin material, either fabricated in a dental laboratory (indirect composite veneers) or built directly in the mouth by the dentist (direct composite veneers). It takes the shape of a tooth and is bonded onto slightly prepared teeth. The purpose is to correct discolouration, morphological imperfections, close gaps, and address mild tooth crowding.
