Do porcelain veneers damage your teeth?
One of the most common fears among people considering a smile design is whether veneers “damage” the teeth.
In reality, porcelain veneers do NOT damage the teeth when they are done with proper technique and minimal invasion.
Problems only appear when they are performed incorrectly or with aggressive tooth reduction.
In this article, we explain the most frequent myths and the truth based on modern dentistry.
Veneers wear down the teeth too much
Modern veneer techniques are minimally invasive.
In most cases, the reduction is superficial, limited to the enamel, and designed only to achieve a perfect fit.
There are even no-prep veneer cases, where the tooth is not reduced at all.
Veneers are bad for the enamel
The truth: when properly done, veneers actually protect the enamel.
The sealing and bonding process reinforces the tooth structure, shielding it from:
• Stains
• Small fractures
• Daily wear
Veneers always cause sensitivity
Some sensitivity can appear for a few days, but it goes away quickly.
With proper technique:
• There is no pain
• There is no chronic sensitivity
• There is no damage to the root
Real risks (only when veneers are poorly done)
Veneers can cause problems only when:
• Teeth are aggressively shaved down
• Low-quality materials are used
• Bonding technique is inadequate
• The bite is left improperly adjusted
