How long do veneers last for?

The lifespan of dental veneers depends on whether you have porcelain or composite veneers, and how well you care for them. Porcelain laminate veneers can last from 10 to 12 years. Composite resin veneers need to be replaced sooner, since they last for around 4 to 8 years.

Do veneers are permanent?

They are designed to remain in place for the rest of your life. They usually last between 10-20 years, and if one of your veneers ever loosens, wears out, or breaks, you'll need to have it replaced.

What are veneers teeth cost?

Dental veneers cost between $800 and $1,800 per tooth, on average, depending on the material used. Multiplying that cost by the number of teeth to be treated means that dental veneers get expensive quickly. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment, so they are not covered by insurance.

Types of Dental Veneers

There are two major types of dental veneers. Composite veneers consist of a durable composite resin moulded to fit the exact dimensions of your teeth. Composite veneers are cheaper and generally don’t require removing any existing tooth materials. Porcelain veneers consist of hard artificial porcelain shell that resists staining. Porcelain veneers are extremely durable, but placing them securely requires removing some tooth material.

Both composite and porcelain veneers have their advantages and disadvantages. At the EDentist clinic, we can help you pick an option that fits your needs and budget.

What to Expect During the Dental Veneer Procedure

The process for getting dental veneers typically takes a few days to a few weeks to complete. At your first appointment, your dentist will order x-rays and take a mould of your teeth to create permanent veneers that custom fit your teeth. If you are getting permanent porcelain veneers, the dentists will also remove about half a millimetre of your tooth to make space for the veneers.

During the next appointment, the dentist will affix the veneers to your teeth using a cementing agent and UV light catalyst. It typically takes about two weeks for veneers to feel normal and return to normal sensitivity levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Dental Veneer Process Hurt?

The dental veneer process might cause slight discomfort, so patients typically receive a local anesthetic during the tooth preparation phase. Most patients report slight discomfort and increased sensitivity for a few days after affixing their veneers. Patients also report temporary soreness in the jaw and gums.

How Do I Care For Dental Veneers?

You can care for veneers like your normal teeth—brush twice a day and floss at night. You may also want to wear a mouthguard when sleeping to prevent teeth grinding. We recommend avoiding hard foods because these can crack the veneer material.

Are Composite or Porcelain Veneers Better?

Composite veneers require significantly less preparation and are cheaper to manufacture. However, they require more maintenance and do not last as long. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, have substantial durability and can last for up to 15 years. Porcelain veneers require more preparation time and are more expensive. Our experienced staff can help you find the right choice of veneers.
