FAQ's

Do veneers require special care?

Veneers need regular care similar to natural teeth. This includes daily brushing and flossing, avoiding staining substances, and scheduling regular dental check-ups for maintenance.
How long do veneers last?

Veneers can last for 10-15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. However, their lifespan depends on factors like your oral hygiene, diet, and habits.
Are veneers a permanent solution?

Veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic solution, but they are not permanent. They may need to be replaced or repaired over time due to wear and tear.
Does getting veneers hurt?

The process of getting veneers is typically not painful. Local anesthesia is often used during the initial tooth preparation to minimize discomfort. Some patients might experience minor sensitivity after the procedure, which usually subsides quickly.
Can anyone get veneers?

Veneers are suitable for many people, but a dentist will evaluate your oral health to determine if you are a good candidate. In some cases, underlying dental issues may need to be addressed first.
Do veneers stain or discolor over time?

High-quality veneers are resistant to staining, but it's essential to minimize exposure to staining substances like coffee and tobacco. Regular care and maintenance can help keep them looking their best.
Difference between crowns and veneers?

While Crowns cap the entire tooth, Veneers are only applied to the front of the tooth. Veneers are also less invasive than Crowns.
