Q: What are veneers? How do they function?

A: According to a Santa Ana DDS, a dental veneer is a tooth-like coating made of ceramics which is placed on the surface of your re-shaped tooth. Its purpose is to improve the alignment, spacing or cracks of a tooth or teeth. It is used mainly during cosmetic dentistry treatments to help you restore your nice smile or perhaps even make your smile better. It has that natural look, making it just like the rest of your natural teeth. That’s largely because it can adapt to the color of your teeth. It has been proven that it can also address most of the cosmetic dental issues of today such as worn enamel, worn-out tooth because of age, gaps on each tooth, and uneven tooth. All of these can be addressed by porcelain veneers.
