Can you Remove Veneers from Your Teeth?

Veneers are a type of permanent cosmetic restoration that covers teeth to improve the look of many aesthetic flaws. Once you begin to wear veneers, you will need to keep wearing veneers. They are designed to last for many years and can often stay in place for 10 to 15 years or more without the need for repair or replacement.

If you remove veneers from your teeth, they will need to be replaced. This is because the preparation process requires some of the enamel to be removed from your teeth. Although today’s veneers are extremely thin and the enamel removed is minimal, it is still enough to affect the function and appearance of your teeth. Those who do not want a permanent restoration should consider other options. No-prep veneers, or veneers that do not require enamel removal, might be one option.

You should never try to remove veneers on your own. If your veneer becomes chipped or otherwise damaged, let us know as soon as possible. A damaged veneer can allow bacteria to leak and decay the tooth.
