Frequently Asked Questions
With good hygiene and bite protection, porcelain veneers can last for years. The bond and the porcelain itself are strong. The most common cause of veneer failure is grinding without a nightguard.
Traditional veneers are not reversible, a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation. Some cases qualify for minimal-prep or no-prep veneers, which are more conservative. We discuss the tradeoffs honestly at consultation before any tooth structure is touched.
Porcelain resists stains, which is one of its advantages over bonding. Coffee, wine, and tea are much less likely to discolor the veneer surface. The edges where porcelain meets natural tooth can pick up stain over many years; routine hygiene maintains the color.
It depends on your smile line. Most cases involve the front 6, 8, or 10 teeth, whatever shows when you smile broadly. We never recommend more teeth than necessary. A single chipped or discolored tooth can often be addressed with one veneer.
Traditional porcelain veneers are crafted in a lab over 2 to 3 weeks to match the shape and color you planned. We use temporary veneers during that window so your teeth are covered while you wait. For some teeth, a CEREC crown, finished in one visit for eligible cases, can be an alternative.
