Chipped or worn down teeth

How are porcelain veneers applied?

Having your smile made over with veneers usually takes about three office visits. In the initial consultation, the dentist will first plan your new smile by determining what size, shape, and type of veneers that will best complement your smile and aesthetic desires.

Next, your teeth will be carefully prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the veneer. This ensures the veneers sits as closely and as comfortable as possible, enhancing how natural they look.

Temporary veneers will be placed to protect the teeth while the final veneer is fabricated in a dental laboratory so you don’t have to worry about any aesthetic issues whilst you wait.

When the permanent veneers are ready, you will return for your third visit to have your veneers cemented. This is the final step in your smile transformation, and you can leave the dentist’s office knowing that you now have a brand new, beautiful smile.

How long do veneers last?

On average, veneers can last from 7-10 years. It all depends on how well they are cared for. Veneers need as much care, if not more, than your existing teeth. Good oral hygiene, frequent brushing and flossing and regular trips to the dentist can prolong their life. This also means that any foods that are tough on and could potentially break your existing teeth, could also damage your veneers.
