What Is Venner CIP?
Venner CIP (Composite Indirect Veneers) are custom-made, high-quality composite resin veneers fabricated in a dental lab and then bonded to your teeth. Unlike traditional veneers, they require minimal tooth preparation, making them a reversible and conservative option.

| Durability | 7-10 years | 10-15 years | 3-5 years |
| Cost (Per Tooth) | $500-$1,200 | $1,000-$2,500 | $300-$800 |
