Porcelain Veneers last an average of 10 -20years. The appearance could deteriorate before this time if the gums recede at the neck of the tooth. With the first veneers the resin used to glue the veneer was a weakness; however the technological advances in the last 10 years have been stunning. So today’s veneers should last a long time.

The reason for having veneers, colour changes, alignment correction or gap closure ; and the severity of the condition will determine how much if any tooth preparation will be required. Some veneers in some situations do not need any tooth removed, in this case the “damage” would be limited to having to clean any residual resin from the tooth if you wanted to revert to your original state. Other veneers require significant tooth reduction.
