Porcelain Veneers Guide
Porcelain veneers are thin restorations bonded to the front of teeth to change appearance. Suitability depends on tooth health, enamel, bite and goals.
What to know
Veneers may be discussed for colour, shape or spacing concerns. A dentist should assess oral health and compare bonding, orthodontics, whitening or other options. Treatment may involve removing enamel and more than one visit. Ask what preparation is planned, whether it is reversible, what maintenance is required and what can damage veneers.
What to discuss before deciding
Consider long-term changes
Ask how much enamel may be removed and whether the plan can be reversed. Discuss what happens if a veneer chips or needs replacement, and how clenching, grinding or bite forces may affect it. Compare veneers with options that preserve more natural tooth structure when appropriate.
Approve the design before treatment
Discuss tooth shape, shade, number of teeth, expected limitations and total fees. Ask how the dentist will review your goals before final placement. Veneers cover the front surface but do not treat decay or gum disease; those concerns should be assessed first.
