Do veneers damage teeth?

Veneers are considered generally very safe when placed by an experienced dentist like Dr. Michael Franquemont. 

What Are Veneers and How Are They Placed?

Veneers are thin shells, usually made of porcelain or composite, that sit over the front of your teeth. To get a perfect fit, your Centennial dentist may remove a tiny bit of enamel. It’s a small amount, carefully calculated, just enough to make your new smile look natural. So while it’s technically irreversible, it’s minimal and doesn’t weaken your teeth.

How to Care for Your Porcelain Veneers

Once your porcelain veneers are in, they’re strong and durable. But like anything, they need a little TLC. We highly recommend that you avoid chewing on ice, pens, or really hard foods, and consider a night guard if you grind your teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups will help your veneers and your natural teeth last for years.
