There are two main types of veneers: porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are custom-made for each tooth. There are several benefits to porcelain veneers, including their strength and durability. They also resemble your natural teeth while requiring less tooth enamel removal instead of having a crown or cap placed. Porcelain veneers also don't easily stain. Composite resin veneers differ from porcelain because they fill material that's bonded directly to the tooth. Because of this, they involve less tooth enamel removal than porcelain veneers. They also typically require fewer dental visits to fit them. Your dentist fixes composites faster and more efficiently than porcelain veneers. However, porcelain is not as strong of a material.
