With proper care, ceramic veneers last 10-15 years, while composite veneers usually last 5-7 years.
The application of veneers is usually associated with minimal pain. A local anaesthetic is used during the procedure to minimize discomfort.
When applying veneers, it is usually necessary to remove a minimum amount of enamel from the tooth surface to make room for the shell. However, this does not significantly weaken the teeth.
Prices can vary considerably depending on the material chosen, with ceramic veneers generally being more expensive than composite veneers.
