Summary
Direct veneers are composite resin applied to front teeth in a single appointment to improve shape, color, and size — a fast, affordable, and minimally invasive smile makeover.
Direct veneers involve the application of tooth-colored composite resin directly to the front surface of teeth. The dentist sculpts and bonds the material in a single appointment, making it one of the most convenient cosmetic dental procedures available.
