8 Types of Dental Veneers
One of the many reasons why dental veneers are so popular is due to the fact that they are absolutely customizable. Depending on the material and the purpose of use dental veneers can vary. While some are semi-permanent, most are long-lasting solutions to any teeth problems or aesthetic changes.

Porcelain Veneers
Made from high-quality medical grade ceramic, porcelain veneers are thin-shells that cover the teeth by mimicking their natural shape. They are very durable, resistant to stains and they inherently have the light-reflecting nature of natural teeth.
They are quite popular as they are able to correct misshapen or chipped teeth naturally and are minimally invasive.
Composite Resin Veneers
Made from tooth-colored resin filling, composite resin veneers are molded to the teeth and binded on the tooth itself. They are somewhat more affordable than porcelain veneers and are easy to remove. However they are more susceptible to staining than porcelain ones.
They are also easy to swap should they be damaged. Replacing them and binding a new piece takes about 15 minutes and the teeth are good as new!
Emax Veneers
Emax veneers are made from naturally translucent material called lithium glass ceramic which gives the tooth a lifelike appearance. Dentists usually opt for emax veneers for front teeth as the front teeth are the most visible and emax veneers are known for their lifelike appearance.
Just like other kinds of veneers, emax veneers are also custom made; however emax veneers also further offer a precise fit and durability.
Zirconia Veneers
Some patients opt for veneers because they grind their teeth. This makes zirconia veneers durable and strong.
They are made from a stain and crack-resistant material called zirconium dioxide. They are one of most high-performance cosmetic dental treatment options.
Same Day Veneers
Same day veneers offer patients a complete smile makeover. This can be done so if the clinic offers the CAD technology which enables dentists to take measurements and shape the veneer on the spot.
If the patient is in need of minor cosmetic interference the dentists can opt for same day veneers made from composite material.
Temporary Veneers
Sometimes short-term solutions may be needed in dental treatment plans. In these cases in order to protect the tooth temporary veneers are implemented. Sometimes in order to make sure that the patients are happy with their veneers, temporary ones are made to allow the patients to get used to their future smile.
Not only will they protect the tooth through the treatment process but they also create the opportunity to test out your future smile.
Lumineers
Usually some veneers may require removal of tooth enamel depending on the case. Lumineers are usually applied when tooth enamel removal is not needed.
If you are looking for a reversible and minimally invasive dental treatment plan lumineers might be the perfect fit for you as they are customizable and easily replaceable.
Palatal Veneers
Sometimes the damage to the teeth is focused on the inner surfaces. Over time the erosion or wear here needs restoring. With palatal veneers these inner surfaces are supported and the back side is protected.
By maintaining the proper alignment the natural tooth material could be preserved.
