Orthopedic/prosthetic dentistry is the aesthetic and functional restoration of teeth. A dental prosthesis is a dental appliance that replaces a missing tooth or covers up tooth defects. Such appliances include implants, crowns, bridges, dentures and veneers, with some of them being removable or permanently fixed in the mouth.

Veneers are high-quality porcelain (ceramic) coverings placed on the front of the teeth. They are used to improve unwanted tooth color and/or shape, as well as to fill the space between the teeth. They can also be used to correct minor crookedness of teeth. Because of their exceptional aesthetic qualities, veneers are one of the most popular and effective dental treatments.

The durability of veneers depends on individual cases. Provided the patient carefully follows the rules of care and hygiene, veneers will last for an average of 5-10 years.
