Done by : Ahmed Ali Al-Asmari

Porcelain Veneers :

Are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front side of teeth so to create a cosmetic improvement for a tooth.

Porcelain veneers require a longer treatment time.

Composite Veneers :

Composite veneers cover the facial surface of teeth to change tooth color, position or shape.

Composite veneers can be applied during a single office visit.
