A veneer is a thin shell — usually porcelain, sometimes composite resin — bonded to the front surface of a tooth to correct its shape, size, or color. Composite bonding is faster and cheaper per tooth, while porcelain holds up longer and mimics natural enamel translucency more convincingly.
Getting veneers usually means a small amount of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth first, so the shell sits flush rather than bulky. A same-visit digital mock-up shows you the expected shape and shade before the permanent veneers are fabricated in a lab.
Getting veneers doesn't replace the need for normal hygiene — the tooth underneath still needs the same care as any other. Patients who grind their teeth are usually advised to wear a nightguard to protect the new veneers from chipping.

Since a thin layer of enamel is typically removed to fit them, veneers are considered a permanent, irreversible procedure.
With good hygiene, porcelain veneers commonly last ten to fifteen years before needing replacement.
Modern porcelain closely mimics natural enamel translucency, and shade-matching avoids an artificial, overly white look.
Enamel prep is done under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is generally not painful.
Crowns are typically used for more structurally damaged teeth; veneers are a cosmetic front-surface solution.
