Could i get a manmade enamel layer put onto my teeth?

Enamal layer: If you want to change shape or color of your teeth, this can be done with veneers or bonding. Both are thinly layered material that is used to cover the surface of the teeth. Different outcomes often determine what material is used. See your dentist for an exam and consult.

No such thing: We have several tooth colored restorative materials including composites and porcelains, but we do not yet have manmade tooth enamel. Scientists are working on cloning enamel and teeth, perhaps in another 25 years it will be possible.

Not really: But many similar man made materials can be used to look like enamel such as porcelain laminates or cosmetic bonding.
