Veneers were invented by USA Californian dentist Charles Pincus in 1928. It is a layer of material placed over a tooth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect the tooth's surface from damage and further decay.

​

There are mainly two different types of material used as veneer basis. These materials are either composite or dental porcelain. It should be noted that there are two different types of veneers. Either prep or non prep. As the name suggests the prep veneer requires several sessions of preparation before being placed on patient’s teeth. 

​

It should be noted that Merhi Dental and Orthodontic Center offers veneers services however we can’t advise you to get this treatment unless you have been checked by one of our dentists. Only your attending dentist can diagnose your case thus he or she can prescribe the best treatment plan for you.
