Veneers are wafer-thin shells made of porcelain or ceramic material. Laminas are mostly adhered to the anterior tooth surface, making the teeth look more natural. They are mostly used for cosmetic purposes, as they correct crooked and discolored teeth.
Coating Styles
Dental veneers are largely made of composite or porcelain. Each type has its pros and cons. But porcelain has become an acceptable standard for quality veneers that will give you satisfied value of what you invest on your teeth. Here are some types of coatings you can find on the market today:

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain has been used over the years to produce high quality veneers with better shine, appearance and a more natural tooth feel. These wonderful tooth shells are created by private dental technicians in a dental laboratory. It may require a small change to your enamel, which is knocked down to make them fit. But the results are worth it. Being easily customizable makes them popular for improving the color, shape and appearance of your teeth. The only downside is that they are quite expensive.
