Veneers give you the perfect smile by concealing chips, gaps, stains or crooked teeth. Cosmetic veneers are light, thin shells crafted with porcelain (or other materials, such as ceramic), which are then bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance the overall appearance of your smile.

Veneers are custom-made to suit your smile and improve the color, length and shape of your teeth. Call to schedule a consultation at Glorious Smiles in Flower Mound, TX office to get more information about veneers.
