What Do Veneers Treat?
Veneers are versatile and can address a range of cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Chips and minor fractures
- Discoloration or uneven coloring that can't be fixed with whitening
- Gaps between teeth
- Irregular shapes or sizes
- Mild to moderate misalignments that don't require orthodontic treatment
Veneers vs. Crowns
While both veneers and crowns improve the appearance of your teeth, they serve different purposes. Veneers are primarily used for cosmetic enhancements, requiring less removal of the tooth structure compared to crowns. Crowns, on the other hand, are used for teeth that need more structural repair. Veneers offer a conservative approach to transform your smile, making them an ideal choice for patients looking for cosmetic changes with minimal tooth alteration.
How Veneers Impact Your Quality of Life
Choosing veneers can significantly impact your quality of life, offering benefits like:
- Boosted self-confidence with a brighter, more uniform smile
- Improved oral hygiene with easier cleaning of well-aligned teeth
- Durability and longevity with proper care, ensuring your smile stays beautiful for years to come
- A non-invasive procedure that conserves more of your natural tooth structure compared to other restorative options

Frequently Asked Questions
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin and are permanently bonded to your teeth.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years, while composite veneers typically last around 5 to 7 years. The longevity of your veneers can be extended with good oral hygiene practices and regular dental checkupss.
Are veneers permanent?
Yes, veneers are considered a permanent treatment because a small amount of enamel is removed from your natural teeth to accommodate the veneer. Once this enamel is removed, the process cannot be reversed.
Can veneers be removed?
Technically, veneers can be removed by a dental professional, but because part of the tooth enamel is removed to place them, your teeth will always need to be covered with a veneer or another form of dental restoration.
Do veneers ruin your teeth?
No, veneers do not ruin your teeth. The procedure involves removing a minimal amount of tooth enamel to fit the veneer, which does not harm the overall health of your teeth. However, it's crucial to follow good oral hygiene practices to maintain your natural teeth and veneers.
How much do veneers cost?
The cost of veneers varies depending on several factors, including the material chosen (porcelain or composite), the number of veneers needed, and the complexity of your case. At Gen 2 Dentistry, we provide transparent pricing and discuss all available financing options to make your treatment as affordable as possible.
Are there alternatives to veneers?
Yes, there are alternatives to veneers, such as dental bonding, crowns, and orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. During your consultation at Gen 2 Dentistry, we can discuss all available options to determine the best solution for your specific needs and goals.
How do I care for my veneers?
Caring for veneers involves the same practices as caring for your natural teeth: brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly. While veneers are stain-resistant, it's advisable to avoid excessive consumption of stain-causing foods and beverages.
Can anyone get veneers?
Most adults in good oral health are candidates for veneers. However, conditions like severe gum disease, tooth decay, or inadequate enamel might need to be addressed before veneer placement. A consultation at Gen 2 Dentistry can determine if veneers are suitable for you.
How are veneers applied?
The process typically involves three visits to Gen 2 Dentistry: one for a consultation and two to make and apply the veneers. It involves removing a small amount of enamel, taking impressions of your teeth, and bonding the custom-made veneers to your teeth.
