A beautiful, snow-white smile is one of the most common standards of beauty. But perfectly straight teeth are quite rare. Some teeth are too close together, crowding together, while others are too far apart, leaving gaps. Sometimes teeth are knocked out of the row or slightly tilted to the sides. Such defects are corrected by cosmetic dentistry. One common method is veneering.

Veneers are thin plates made of composite, ceramic or zirconia that are used to correct the smile.

They are placed on the front teeth, in the smile area. It is recommended to cover 4 to 8 teeth with the plates. The load on the side teeth is too strong for thin plates. It is better to put crowns on chewing teeth.
