The longevity of veneers depends on the type of veneer, your oral hygiene habits, and the care you provide to your teeth. With proper maintenance and regular dental checkups, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years, while composite veneers may last around 5 to 7 years

Veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic dental solution, as a small amount of enamel is usually removed from the teeth during the preparation process. However, they may need to be replaced eventually due to wear and tear over the years.

Veneers can be a suitable option for most individuals with healthy teeth and gums. However, they may not be recommended for individuals with significant teeth grinding habits or dental issues that require orthodontic treatment.

The process of getting veneers is minimally invasive and typically involves little to no discomfort. Local anesthesia is usually used during the preparation phase to ensure your comfort. Most patients find the procedure to be relatively painless.

The entire veneer procedure usually requires two to three dental visits. The first visit involves consultation and tooth preparation, while the subsequent visits are for fabricating and bonding the veneers to your teeth.

Veneers do not require any special care beyond regular oral hygiene practices. It is essential to brush and floss regularly, attend routine dental checkups, and avoid biting on hard objects to maintain the longevity of your veneers.

Veneers are an excellent solution for a wide range of cosmetic dental issues, such as discolouration, minor misalignment, chips, and gaps. However, they may not be suitable for severe orthodontic problems or significant structural tooth damage.
