A veneer is like a false fingernail. It’s a thin layer of porcelain that is colour matched to the remaining teeth and covers over the complete front surface of a tooth. These are often used to disguise teeth that that are discoloured or heavily filled. They are often the treatment provided that gives what’s known as the Hollywood smile. They would be a good treatment for a class 1 fracture. Their lifespan would generally be regarded to last five years. The often last considerably longer if looked after.
