Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneer

How long do dental veneers last?
Porcelain veneers last 10–20 years. Composite veneers last 5–7 years. Porcelain is more durable, stain-resistant, and natural-looking.
Do veneers damage natural teeth?
Minimal tooth preparation (0.3–0.5mm) is needed for porcelain veneers. This is irreversible but the amount removed is minimal. No-prep veneers (Lumineers) require zero tooth reduction.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can correct mild misalignment and create the appearance of straight teeth. For significant orthodontic issues, braces or aligners are recommended first.
