Yes — veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic treatment.
Why They’re Permanent:
- To place most veneers, a thin layer of enamel is removed from your natural teeth.
- Some veneers remove very little or no enamel
- Once enamel is removed, your teeth will always need coverage to protect them.
What You Should Know:
- Veneers don’t decay, but the tooth underneath can still develop cavities.
- They typically last 10–15 years with proper care.
- Good oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and regular dental visits help them last longer.
✅ Bottom line: Veneers are long-lasting and transformative, but generally they’re not reversible — maintenance and care are essential.
