How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years with proper care. Good oral hygiene, avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing ice, and regular dental visits help extend their lifespan.

Do veneers stain like natural teeth?

Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant than natural enamel. However, the bonding edges and surrounding natural teeth can still stain, so it’s best to limit coffee, tea, and wine and maintain regular cleanings.

Is the veneer procedure painful?

Most patients experience little to no discomfort. We use local anesthesia during preparation, and temporary sensitivity after bonding usually resolves within a few days.

Are veneers reversible?

Because a small layer of enamel is removed to fit veneers, the procedure is not considered reversible. However, veneers can be replaced or updated if needed in the future.

How do I care for my veneers?

Care for veneers like natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss, and see your dentist every 6 months. If you grind or clench, wearing a nightguard will protect them.

Why Veneers?

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve shape, size, and color. They mimic natural enamel, resist staining, and can last over a decade with proper care.

Conditions Veneers Can Fix

Deep discoloration that whitening won’t remove
Chipped or worn teeth
Small gaps or misalignment (alternative to braces for minor cases)
Uneven tooth size or shape

The Veneer Process at Kaban Dental Group

Consultation & Smile Design — digital photos, shade matching, and treatment plan.
Tooth Preparation — a thin layer of enamel is reshaped to fit the veneer.
Temporary Veneers (if needed) — for comfort while custom veneers are made.
Bonding Appointment — permanent veneers are placed and adjusted for bite/comfort.

Veneers vs Alternatives

Whitening — good for stains, but not chips or shape issues.
Bonding — less costly, quicker, but not as durable as veneers.
Crowns — cover the whole tooth; recommended if there’s major structural damage.

Caring for Veneers

Brush and floss daily as you would natural teeth
Avoid biting hard objects (ice, pens, fingernails)
Wear a nightguard if you grind teeth
Schedule cleanings every 6 months

What patients are saying

Dr Kelly is awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough with her examination. Impressed me with her read of my X-rays, which identified things I had forgotten (ie past tooth injuries) or never suspected. She takes her time and does all the work herself. You’re in good hands here.
