Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent, highly cosmetic procedure. Veneers can be used to mask stained, malformed and mild mal-aligned teeth. Unlike bonding, porcelain veneers are a custom-made restoration, which involves fabrication in a dental lab, thus an indirect procedure. Upsides of veneers are they are permanent restoration, thus no bleaching and rebleaching needed and patients get to choose their own whitest shade.
