What is a Veneer?
A veneer is a relatively new treatment which involves sticking a thin layer, or veneer, of porcelain onto the front surface of a tooth. Veneers are used when a tooth is badly discoloured due to medicines taken in early life or for other reasons.
The major advantage of a veneer is that it can dramatically improve the appearance of a tooth but involve only the minimum of preparation or loss of natural tooth tissue. If the veneer is lost or damaged, the original tooth remains almost unchanged underneath and can usually be re-veneered fairly easily.
It should be noted that veneers are glued to the tooth surface and they can be damaged or broken quite easily. They shouldn't be used for stripping wire! Er, come to think of it, teeth generally, shouldn't be used for stripping wire.
