n.
a facing of composite resin or porcelain applied to the surface of a tooth to give improved shape and/or colour. The tooth requires minimal preparation and the facing is retained by enamel that has been treated by the acid-etch technique. Veneers are a more conservative way of treating discoloured teeth than by crown.

ve·neer (və-nērґ) a thin layer of tooth-colored material, usually porcelain, some other ceramic, or acrylic resin, attached to the surface by direct fusion, cementation, or mechanical retention in the construction of crowns or pontics, or cemented directly to the prepared surface of a tooth to modify its shape or color.
