Frequently asked Questions about Dental Veneers
What is the cost of Dental Veneers?
How are Dental Veneers made?
How long is the process?
For porcelain veneers, the process takes approximately 2 appointments, with waiting times that may vary between 1 or 2 weeks between each appointment in order to give the lab enough time to make your custom veneers.
As opposed to porcelain, composite veneers usually take a single visit to get them done. Of course this will depend on every patient’s features and the number of veneers to be done. You can discuss all these matters with your dentist at the time of your consultation. They will answer all your questions and concerns.

When does the veneer need replacement?
The porcelain veneers have a failure rate below 10%, which stays as long as natural teeth. Although veneers are stronger and durable, they may require replacement for the following reasons,
- Cracks or damages due to facial injury or biting on hard objects.
- If decay occurs to the underlying tooth structure and it cannot be treated without having to drill into the veneer material. The veneer needs to be removed in order to treat the underlying damage.
- Gum can recede over time exposing the margin between the veneer and the tooth root thus creating a fine brown line which needs to be treated.
- Loose veneers due to the gap between the tooth and the bonded veneer can cause damage to the underlying tooth by allowing the bacteria and plaque leakage. Eventually leading to the underlying tooth decay which needs replacement.
- Veneers are highly worn due to use and will need a replacement.
- Veneers may break if the bite changes significantly through tooth loss, acid erosion or decay in teeth. The broken veneer will need to be removed and replaced.
How do I look after my veneers?
Here are some useful tips to take care of your veneers,
- Visit your hygienist or dentist regularly for check-ups and cleaning.
- Practice good oral hygiene. Brush at least twice a day and floss at least once a day. Try to avoid gum recession and exposing of veneer margins, which can increase the lifespan of veneers.
- Use a non abrasive toothpaste and soft bristled toothbrush to protect the polished surface.
- Avoiding hard, sticky and crunchy foods
- Reduce the amount of coffee intake or any other food or beverage that can stain your teeth
- It is advised to wear a mouth guard if you play contact sport.
- Reduce the Acid intake like soft drinks, vinegar diets as they can dissolve the teeth that support veneers and can cause some damage to composite over time.
