Your dentist will evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite before recommending treatment.

Dental veneer questions

Are veneers permanent?

Treatment is usually irreversible when enamel is removed. Veneers can need repair or replacement.

Is everyone a candidate?

Tooth structure, gum health, decay, and bite habits must be evaluated first.

Can veneers straighten my teeth?

They change appearance rather than move teeth. Some concerns may need orthodontic treatment.

How long do veneers last?

Longevity varies with your bite, habits, oral health, and care.
