•Diastemas (spaces between teeth)

•Broken or chipped teeth

•Unsightly, stained, or washed-out fillings

•Permanently stained or discolored teeth that can't be bleached

•Crooked teeth

•Veneers are the most biocompatible material you can use next to the gingiva

•A healthy "natural" look is achieved; in fact, porcelain veneers are the most aesthetic restoration in dentistry.
