Porcelain laminate veneers require minimal preparation of the tooth surface, typically involving approximately 0.5 mm of enamel reduction on the facial surface. Impressions are taken, and thin porcelain veneers—similar in thickness to a fingernail—are fabricated by a dental technician.

These veneers are bonded to the tooth surface and, due to their translucent and color-neutral properties, closely mimic the natural tooth structure. Porcelain veneers are commonly indicated for discolored, worn, misaligned, or aesthetically compromised teeth, providing a highly natural and durable esthetic solution.
