Veneers are durable and long-lasting porcelain shells that instantly improve the appearance of your teeth and overall smile. This causes patients to look and feel more radiant. Increased confidence can carry over to other aspects of their lives including socializing, dating, and career opportunities. ‍Veneers can cover up minor problems such as misaligned teeth and gaps without patients needing to undergo expensive orthodontic treatment. Similarly, the bonding of the veneers with the natural teeth strengthens them and protects them from damage. ‍Veneers are also a cost-effective option to protect a worn down, cracked, or chipped tooth without needing a dental crown. Patents can have their veneers matched to the natural shade of their teeth or go lighter for a whitening boost.

Because veneers require the permanent alteration of your natural tooth enamel, the procedure is not reversible. However, you will need to replace your veneers every 10-15 years for porcelain and 4-7 years for composite resin veneers. You will always need to cover your shaven down enamel once you undergo enameloplasty in preparation for veneers.
