dental veneer

Cosmetic tooth shell

A dental veneer is a thin shell of porcelain or composite material bonded to the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance.

Veneers cover chips, stains, gaps, or misalignment without the extensive reshaping that crowns require: She got veneers to fix her discolored front teeth.

The term sometimes appears in discussions of celebrity smiles, where uniformly white veneers create an artificially perfect look.
