What are dental scales?

Dental veneers are among the most popular means of beautifying the front teeth in recent times, which contribute to solving many dental problems. They are made of different materials, some of which require the removal of part of the “Enamel” layer, while another type of them does not require tooth preparation at all.

Problems treated by dental veneers

There are many cosmetic dental problems that dental veneers can contribute to solving, and among these problems are the following:

Broken or worn front teeth
Teeth discoloration with the inability to restore their color through teeth whitening
