What to expect with porcelain veneers
Once we determine you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers, the process starts by scheduling an appointment to have your teeth prepared. For the veneers to attach properly and not stick out from the front of the teeth, it’s necessary to remove a small amount of enamel. In this appointment, after preparation of the teeth, impressions are taken and sent to a lab for custom fabrication of the veneers.
Once the veneers are ready, you will return to the office for placement. The veneers are checked for proper size, shape, and color before they are attached to the front of teeth with a permanent cement.
How long veneers last
The longevity of your porcelain veneers depends on several factors. In theory, veneers can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene, however veneers typically last an average of 10-15 years. While porcelain is a strong, durable material, it can break in certain situations. Individuals with veneers are advised to wear mouth guards during sports, avoid grinding the teeth, and practice good oral hygiene in order to make sure that the veneers last as long as possible.
