| Veneers are thin covers for teeth - similar to a 'false finger-nail' | 
|
| Veneers improve the appearance of teeth - by changing their shape, size, position and colour | 
|
| A veneer can repair the structure of a single damaged tooth - to help restore function, strength and appearance | 
|
| Teeth sometimes need to be trimmed down before veneers can be fitted | 
|
| Veneers can be made of resin or porcelain / ceramic | 
|
| Veneers can be made directly or indirectly | 
|
| Direct veneers are put onto the tooth by the dentist - using a soft material that then sets hard (this is sometimes called 'bonding') | 
|
| Indirect veneers (sometimes called laminates) are made outside of the mouth (either by machine or in a laboratory by a dental technologist) the dentist then glues the veneer onto the tooth |
