Porcelain: Veneers are made from porcelain or composite and there are many types of both. Porcelain is much stronger and better for wear and tear. One very strong type of porcelain for veneers would be of lithium disilicate and may have several different brand names.

It's the dentist!: Porcelain or procera veneers. However, it is not the material used, or the brand name with marketing hype that is the most important factor when trying to achieve the best esthetic result or longevity of a laminate (veneer). Rather, it is the skill, expertise, experience and artistic skill of the dentist (and the dental technician) that is the key. Opaquers can also be used to cover things up.

Porcelain: If your tooth is dark, a more opaque porcelain will be needed. Ask your dentist which type of porcelain works best for them.
