Faqs for Veneers

01 Are Porcelain Veneers Permanent Or Reversible? Or Can You Reverse Dental Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are one of the most commonly used cosmetic dental treatments to correct crooked teeth, fill gaps between teeth, hide stains and fix a lot of other aesthetic dental problems. Procedure of porcelain dental veneers is an irreversible permanent procedure because in most cases a very thin layer of enamel is removed (shaved or buffed) or the surface is prepared with a chemical before the veneers are attached. In our multiple years of experience with veneers, not one patient wants to go back to their original teeth after getting the beautiful results from porcelain veneers.

Discussion of the procedure of dental veneers and aftercare with your dentist is vital to make an informed decision.

02 Can You Go Back To Your Natural Teeth After Veneers?

Dental veneers hide imperfections in teeth and transform your smile. To fabricate porcelain veneers and bond to your teeth, a small layer of enamel is removed. Removal of a thin layer of enamel helps to get rid of imperfections and make space for porcelain veneers. Therefore, in most cases porcelain veneers are irreversible and permanent and you cannot go back to your natural teeth. In cases, where prepless veneers or no prep veneers are done, it might be possible to go back to your natural teeth but it is not advised. Removal of veneers can cause sensitivity and weaken your teeth and won’t look the same.

03 Do Porcelain Veneers Stain?

Porcelain dental veneers do not stain. Dental veneers are thin shells made of glass-ceramic and are not porous. This non-porous nature of ceramic helps keep them color stable and avoid any intrinsic staining unlike natural teeth. Natural teeth are porous and can stain intrinsically and extrinsically. If you are a heavy smoker, or have bad hygiene, extrinsic stains can get deposited on porcelain veneers, which can be easily removed and polished during your regular dental cleaning which is a part of aftercare of veneers.

04 Are Veneers Covered Under Insurance?

Porcelain veneers are considered a cosmetic dental procedure and therefore, generally and most often not covered by your dental insurance. Very rarely, depending on the kind of insurance and personal situation where the structural need of porcelain veneers is dramatically demonstrated, some insurance companies might cover a portion of the cost of veneers.
