Frequently asked

How much do veneers cost per tooth?

Composite veneers: $250–$1,500/tooth. Porcelain: $925–$2,500/tooth. Premium materials (lithium disilicate, stacked ceramic) up to $3,000/tooth. Most smile makeovers involve 8–10 teeth.

How long do veneers last?

Porcelain veneers last 10–20 years on average with good hygiene and avoidance of biting hard objects. Composite veneers last 5–8 years and are easier to repair but stain more.

Do veneers ruin your teeth?

Traditional porcelain veneers require removing 0.3–0.7mm of enamel, which is permanent. No-prep veneers (Lumineers) preserve enamel but only work in ideal cases. Composite bonding is reversible. The 'ruined' framing is overstated when prep is conservative and dentistry is good.

Do veneers hurt to get?

The prep visit is done under local anesthesia and is painless. Sensitivity to hot/cold for 1–2 weeks afterward is common. Placement visit (when veneers are bonded) is typically painless.

Can you whiten veneers?

No — porcelain doesn't bleach. If you want whiter teeth long-term, whiten your natural teeth first, then match the veneers to your desired shade. Re-doing veneers is the only way to change color after placement.
