Questions and Answers: Veneers
Question: I really want veneers but I’m worried that the process for this cosmetic dentistry treatment is going to take too long. What can I expect?
Answer: You may be surprised to learn that receiving veneers is not a lengthy process. Within only two or three visits, you will have received your custom porcelain veneers and achieved a brilliant transformation.
Question: I’m starting to wonder about what it will feel like once I have veneers. Am I going to feel like I have someone else’s smile instead of my own?
Answer: Remember that veneers are ultra-slim. Even though we will be making changes and bonding the veneers to your teeth, the alterations will prove minimal (even though the esthetic improvements are quite impressive). You may notice that your smile feels somewhat different but you will adapt and adjust very quickly.
Question: Am I going to have to replace my veneers consistently to keep this cosmetic dentistry treatment looking good?
Answer: Not at all. As long as you are thoughtful and keep up with hygiene and dental visits, you may expect your porcelain veneers to last quite a while and to continue looking wonderful. In general, veneers may last up to 20 years if not longer.
