What are veneers ?


Porcelain veneers (also called laminate veneers) are very thin porcelain shells that are placed on the fronts of teeth to improve one's smile.  A good analogy are ladies "press on fingernails" - the real nail is still three, but it alters the appearance.  
The portion of the tooth that faces inward is unaltered.  The portion of the tooth that faces outward is porcelain.
A veneer differs from a crown in that a crown covers the entire tooth.
