Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are made from porcelain or resin composite materials and are bonded to your teeth to change their color, shape, size, or length.
With proper care, dental veneers can last between 10 to 15 years. Their longevity depends on the type of veneers used, your oral hygiene practices, and avoiding habits that may damage them, such as biting hard objects.
The procedure for getting dental veneers is usually painless. However, some patients may experience minor discomfort during the tooth preparation phase, where a small amount of enamel is removed. Local anesthesia can be used to minimize any discomfort.The procedure for getting dental veneers is usually painless.

Yes, you can eat most foods with dental veneers. However, it’s advisable to avoid very hard or sticky foods that could potentially damage the veneers. Foods like hard candies, ice, and tough meats should be consumed with caution. Maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing on non-food items will help preserve the longevity of your veneers.
While dental veneers are durable, they can sometimes chip, crack, or fall off if subjected to excessive force or pressure. It’s essential to avoid biting hard objects and to follow your dentist’s recommendations for care. If a veneer does become damaged or detached, it can often be repaired or replaced by your dentist.
Caring for dental veneers involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Additionally, avoid habits that can damage your veneers, such as using your teeth to open packages or biting your nails.
