what can go wrong with dental veneers

Q. I have just visited a private dentist who told me that veneers would last 15-20years and cost about 7k, is this correct? After this time do the veneers fall off and what will my teeth look like then? Should I visit more than one dentist to gain a 2nd opinion? What can go wrong with this procedure.

 

A. The veneers would not come off in 15-20 yrs but may need to be renewed given that you will be biting and chewing for 15yrs it stands to reason that there may be some wear and tear.

I would always get a second opinion especially if you grind your teeth or suffer from headaches and jaw pain
