Just like any dental work, your veneers will eventually need to be repaired and replaced. Factors such as your diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene habits will impact the durability of your veneers. In most cases, ceramic veneers last 15-20 years.
Veneers generally do not cause significant pain or discomfort. During the procedure to place veneers, a local anesthetic may be used to numb the area of the mouth where the veneers will be placed. After the procedure, you may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures for a short period of time, but this should resolve quickly.
It typically takes 2-3 appointments over the course of several weeks. Your veneers will be created in a dental lab, which can take some time to complete.
