What are porcelain veneers used for?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are used to correct issues like chipped, stained, uneven, or slightly crooked teeth. Veneers can also close small gaps between teeth and create a more uniform, attractive smile. Many patients choose veneers for a natural look that blends beautifully with their existing teeth.
How permanent are veneers?
Porcelain veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic treatment, but they are not completely permanent. To place veneers, a thin layer of enamel is removed, so the process is not considered reversible. Over time, veneers may need to be replaced due to normal wear. With proper care, you can expect them to last many years and keep your smile looking consistently bright and uniform.
How long should veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years or more with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. Avoiding habits like biting on hard objects, grinding your teeth, or using your teeth to open packages can help extend their lifespan. If a veneer becomes damaged or worn, it can always be replaced to maintain the look of your smile.
Who is a good candidate for veneers?
A good candidate for veneers is someone with healthy teeth and gums who wants to improve the cosmetic appearance of their teeth. Veneers work especially well for patients who are unable to achieve their cosmetic smile goals through other treatments like teeth whitening and dental bonding. You should also have enough natural enamel for the veneer to bond properly. Veneers may not be ideal if you have untreated gum disease, tooth decay, or habits like teeth grinding—these issues should be addressed before treatment.
