Will getting veneers damage my real teeth?

Doctor's Answer

It is often said that veneers are minimally invasive and do not involve much preparation of the teeth. Whilst this is true, veneers are not totally reversible.

In fact, it is considered permanent because the outer layer of your enamel needs to be removed to give way to the veneers, changing the original structure of your teeth.

There may be an alternative to improving the appearance such as orthodontics and teeth whitening. It is important to be informed of all the treatment options available as well as the pros and cons of each option so that you can make an informed decision.
