In dentistry, a veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth or to protect the tooth's surface from damage.

There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement such as Panavia. In contrast, a porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated.

Full veneer crown is described as โ€œA restoration that covers all the coronal tooth surfaces (Mesial, Distal, Facial, Lingual and Occlusal)โ€. Laminate veneer in other hand is a thin layer that covers only the surface of the tooth and generally used for aesthetic proposes.
