What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shell-shaped trays that are individually bonded to natural teeth. They can be used on your entire dentition or cover a few teeth. It depends on the condition of your teeth and personal preference.
Veneers can also be partial. This means that they only cover part of the tooth, rather than the whole tooth. This often depends on personal preference and budget. Any option is a good choice.
If you are planning to get porcelain veneers, keep in mind that your dentist will need to file down part of your tooth to put them on. If you are not comfortable with this, you may need to talk to your dentist for further clarification or other options.

5. Is the procedure painful?
The installation of porcelain veneers should not be too painful. This is because the doctor will anesthetize your mouth before the procedure. This will ensure that you do not feel anything.

6. Are porcelain veneers resistant to abrasion?
If you gnash your teeth, this is the reason why you have veneers.

8. Can stains appear on porcelain veneers?
