Dental Veneers FAQs
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers may last 5 to 7 years, depending on your oral care routine and habits.
No, veneers do not damage your natural teeth when properly applied by a professional. A small amount of enamel is removed to ensure a proper fit, but the underlying tooth remains healthy.
Veneers are considered semi-permanent. Once enamel is removed, it cannot be replaced, so you’ll always need a restoration — but the veneers themselves may eventually need replacement due to wear.
No. Veneers cannot be whitened with bleaching agents. If you’re considering whitening your teeth, we recommend doing it before getting veneers so the shade matches your ideal smile.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the veneer process. Local anesthetic is used when necessary, and the procedure is minimally invasive.
Since veneers are typically a cosmetic procedure, they are not usually covered by insurance. However, we’re happy to help you review your benefits and financing options.
