What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin shells custom-made to cover the front surface of teeth. This solution is used to enhance appearance by addressing various cosmetic concerns like discoloration, misalignment, gaps, and wear. At Maiden Family Dentistry, we have specialized in providing top-notch dental veneers to the Maiden, NC community.

A Brief History of Dental Veneers
