What makes Porcelain Veneers so unique?

The uniqueness of veneers is their ability to produce the most natural white teeth appearance possible. This "natural teeth" appearance is a result of the inherent translucency of the veneer material. In most previous approaches, the light reflected of the surface of the restoration resulting a clean but "flat" look to the restored tooth. Porcelain veneers allow light to penetrate the wafer shell and reflect only from the inside surface of the tooth structure. This penetration of light produces a translucency which is very natural looking and attractive.
