Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain veneers that are bonded to the front of your teeth to change the color, shape, size, or length of your teeth to improve your smile.

2. Most veneers do not require root canal treatment.

3. Minimizing the sensitivity of teeth after finishing compared to ordinary porcelain crowns.
