Are veneers permanent?

Yes, veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic dental treatment because the process requires removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth to ensure a proper fit. Once the enamel is removed, it cannot be restored, which means that teeth will always require some form of coverage, either with veneers or another type of dental restoration. While veneers are durable and can last many years, they may need to be replaced if they become damaged or worn over time. It is important to discuss the permanence of veneers with your dentist and consider all your options before committing to the procedure.
