Are veneers permanent?

Veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more with proper care, making them one of the most durable cosmetic dental options available. Although veneers aren’t technically permanent, they’re a very popular, long-lasting solution for improving the look of your smile. 

Here’s how it works: Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that bond to the front of your teeth to correct issues like chips, discoloration, gaps, or uneven shapes. A small amount of enamel is removed to prepare your teeth for veneers. Because this enamel cannot grow back, the process is irreversible, which means you’ll always need some form of restoration to protect your teeth after getting veneers.

Veneers are designed to be incredibly strong and stain-resistant, so with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, you can enjoy a flawless smile for many years. To maximize their lifespan, avoid biting into hard objects like ice or pens and minimize habits like grinding your teeth or chewing your nails.
