Do veneers destroy your natural teeth

Veneers do not automatically destroy teeth, but most require some enamel preparation and are not reversible once prepared.

A veneer bonds to facial enamel or dentine; preparation depends on colour, position, material, and bite.

Check decay, gum health, enamel, clenching, and alternatives such as whitening, bonding, or orthodontics before preparation.

Persistent sensitivity, bleeding, a loose veneer, sharp edge, or pain underneath needs review.

Ask how much enamel will be removed and how bite forces and future replacement will be managed.
