Are veneers right for you?
Veneers are suitable for many patients, but may not be ideal if you have active gum disease, tooth decay, very thin enamel, or heavy teeth grinding (unless managed). Your dentist will guide you on the best option for your smile.
What to expect
Some short-term sensitivity is normal. Most patients return to normal eating within a day or two.
