Laminate (Porcelain) Veneers

What are Veneers?


Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are used to correct various cosmetic issues, such as discolouration, chips, gaps, and misalignment, providing a natural-looking and long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile.
