Let us examine your teeth and recommend the option that best fits your smile and needs.
Types of Veneers by Material:

Porcelain Veneers

Thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their color, shape, size, and overall appearance. They are designed to provide a durable, natural-looking result.
Made from tooth-colored composite resin that is shaped directly on your teeth. They can be used to address minor chips, discoloration, gaps, or changes in tooth shape.
These fit over your existing teeth to temporarily change the appearance of your smile. They are not permanently bonded to your teeth and are generally considered a temporary cosmetic option.
Types of Veneers by Tooth Preparation:
Non-Prep Veneers
Ultra-thin veneers that may be placed with little or no removal of natural tooth enamel, depending on your teeth and cosmetic goals.
These require a small amount of enamel preparation to create the right space, fit, and shape for a natural-looking result.

The lifespan of veneers depends on the type, material, oral habits, and how well they are cared for. Porcelain veneers commonly last around 10-15 years or longer, while composite veneers may last around 4-8 years. No-prep veneers can often last around 5-10 years, while temporary veneers are designed to last only a few weeks or months. Regular dental care and good oral hygiene can help extend their lifespan.

Veneers do not inherently harm your teeth when properly planned and placed. Some tooth preparation may be needed depending on the type you choose, which is why your dentist will first assess whether veneers are appropriate for you.

Traditional veneers are generally considered a permanent treatment because a small amount of enamel may be removed before placement. Non-prep veneers may require little or no enamel removal in suitable cases, but they are still intended as a long-term cosmetic treatment. Your dentist can explain how much preparation your teeth may need before you decide.
