Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain veneers help correct the appearance of mild crookedness or spacing without orthodontics. By reshaping the visible surface of the teeth, veneers can close small gaps, mask minor rotations, and create a more even-looking smile, often in just a few appointments.
When Veneers Are (and Aren’t) the Right Solution
Veneers work best for cosmetic alignment issues, not functional bite problems. If teeth are slightly tilted, unevenly sized, or spaced apart, veneers can be custom-designed to create the illusion of straightness. This makes them appealing to adults who want faster results than braces or clear aligners can deliver.
However, veneers are not appropriate for significant crowding, severe misalignment, or bite issues. Veneers don’t move teeth; they reshape what’s visible. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended first to protect long-term oral health. The goal is balance and proportion, not forcing a cosmetic solution where structural correction is needed.
Also, if a patient suffers from tooth decay or gum disease, these oral health issues must be addressed before veneer placement. A cosmetic dentist will evaluate how your teeth come together, your gum and dental health, and the thickness of your enamel before suggesting veneers.
Custom Cosmetic Solutions in Scarborough, ON
If you’re in Scarborough and want to explore whether veneers can address gaps or cosmetic concerns with otherwise healthy teeth, the team at Dentistry at Alton Towers can help you understand your options and choose the right path forward!
Porcelain veneers are a long-term, irreversible treatment. However, they are not indestructible or lifetime appliances, and thus not considered “permanent.” The reason veneers are irreversible is that proper placement requires removing a tiny layer of enamel. This means once veneers are placed, the underlying teeth will always need some form of coverage.
What “Permanent” Really Means
Because enamel does not grow back, veneers are a commitment. That said, porcelain veneers are designed to last many years, usually 10–15 or more with proper oral hygiene, treatment of bite issues, and regular professional maintenance during routine dental visits.
Good habits also make a measurable difference. Avoiding nail biting, chewing ice, and using teeth as tools helps protect veneers. Patients who frequently grind their teeth (bruxism) may benefit from a custom night guard to extend the lifespan of their veneers.
Individual veneers themselves typically eventually need replacement due to normal wear, chipping, or changes in the surrounding gum tissue. Thus, replacing veneers is a planned, controlled process, and not a failure of treatment.
