Veneers are often used to improve the appearance of the teeth when you wish to change the colour, shape and position of teeth. You might have a veneer to improve the colour of a single discoloured or stained tooth. Or you might want to improve the appearance of several teeth which are crooked, uneven, or have discoloured fillings. 

A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again and they can be used to close small gaps. Similarly, if one or two teeth are slightly out of position, veneers can be used to bring them into line with the others. Because veneers are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond, less preparation fo the tooth is needed compared to a crown. A tooth-coloured filling material can also be used for minor repairs to front teeth. This is excellent option where the defect is small and requires very minimal (if at all) preparation of your teeth.
