Veneers can cover many different types of defects on the teeth. The list below shows some of the more common types of defects that shell veneers / veneers / porcelain veneers can fix.
Chipping of teeth
Chipping teeth is not uncommon. They can occur when certain areas of a tooth experience constant wear and tear. Wear tends to weaken the enamel until it eventually chips off the tooth. Chipping can also occur when someone bites down on a piece of hard food or when they are involved in a type of accident that causes trauma to the mouth.
Fracture of teeth
Any fractures of the tooth must be repaired as soon as possible, as fracture can lead to loss of teeth. Losing a tooth is the last thing anyone wants to be, as a healthy mouth is one that has a full set of teeth. When someone breaks one of their teeth, it is often due to being involved in an accident that affects the mouth, such as a fall accident or sports accidents. Teeth can also fracture due to a large cavity or lose a filling. Veneers are frequently chosen by cases who have broken teeth.
Tooth stains
Not all areas with stains on teeth can be removed with a bleach. Such areas with stains that have been around for a long time, since childhood, tend to be difficult to remove and because teeth whitening procedures only address the outer surface of a tooth. Therefore, these types of stains tend to be permanent. When someone has such a visible spot on one or more of the front teeth, they will often hide their smile due to self-awareness around the spots. shell veneers can cover such spots, making it a popular choice for those with such challenges.
Why choose shell veneers / veneers / porcelain veneers over crown?

How does the process work with shell veneers / veneers / porcelain veneers?
