How do dental veneers work?
-
What types of dental veneers are available?
There are two main types of dental veneers available: porcelain veneers and composite veneers.
- Porcelain Veneers: These are made from high-quality ceramic materials and are known for their durability, natural appearance, and resistance to staining. Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental laboratory and typically require two visits to complete the process.
- Composite Veneers: Made from tooth-colored resin, composite veneers are applied directly to the teeth and sculpted into shape by the dentist. They are generally more affordable and can be completed in a single visit, but they may not last as long as porcelain veneers and can be more prone to staining.

What happens to teeth under veneers?
Under dental veneers, the natural teeth are minimally prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel to ensure a proper fit and adhesion of the veneers. This process makes the teeth slightly more sensitive and permanently alters their structure. The remaining tooth structure stays intact and protected by the veneer. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene practices, as the teeth underneath the veneers can still be susceptible to decay and gum disease if not properly cared for. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of both the veneers and the underlying teeth to ensure long-term oral health.

How long do veneers last?
Dental veneers can last between 10 to 15 years with proper care, though their lifespan can vary based on several factors. Porcelain veneers typically last longer, ranging from 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers may need replacement more frequently, lasting about 5 to 7 years.
