1. Cosmetic: your teeth might not look the way you want them too. They might not be as white as you want them to, as beautiful or aligned as you wish. Porcelain Veneers will solve that problem as it like ceramic jacket put on your teeth to make it look perfect.
2. Functionality: your teeth might be broken or lost its structure during the past due to trauma, acid erosion or Root Canal Treatment and the functionality of the compromised. placing a Porcelain Veneer or Crown on them can improve the structural durability of the tooth.
