Dental Veneers

Porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years or more with proper care, while composite veneers last 5-7 years. The lifespan depends on factors like your oral hygiene routine, diet, whether you grind your teeth, and how well you maintain them with regular dental check-ups.

The veneer procedure is not painful. Local anesthetic is used during tooth preparation to ensure your comfort. You may experience some sensitivity after the procedure, but this is temporary and usually subsides within a few days. Most patients find the process comfortable and straightforward.

Modern veneer techniques are minimally invasive and designed to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Only a thin layer of enamel (approximately 0.5mm) is removed to create space for the veneer. Our experienced dentists prioritize maintaining the health and integrity of your teeth throughout the process.

Caring for veneers is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoid biting hard objects, using your teeth as tools, and excessive consumption of staining foods and drinks. With proper care, your veneers will remain beautiful for many years.

Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining and won't discolor from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco like natural teeth can. Composite veneers are more susceptible to staining over time but can be polished and refreshed. This stain resistance is one of the major advantages of choosing porcelain veneers.

Yes! You can get veneers on as few or as many teeth as needed to achieve your desired results. Some patients choose veneers for just their front teeth (typically 4-8 veneers), while others opt for a full smile makeover. We'll work with you to create a treatment plan that meets your specific goals and budget.

Veneers cover only the front surface of your teeth and are primarily cosmetic, requiring minimal tooth preparation. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used for both cosmetic and restorative purposes when a tooth is severely damaged or weakened. Veneers are less invasive and preserve more natural tooth structure.
