What to Expect from the Veneer Process
While dental treatment timelines can vary, porcelain veneers typically involve two separate appointments. During the first appointment, you’ll have a consultation with the cosmetic dental professionals at My Family Dental in Clawson, MI. Then, we’ll take an impression of the teeth you want to alter and a small amount of your natural tooth enamel as a sample.
We’ll also provide you with temporary appliances while you wait for the final product. These help you carry on with your regular routine while you become familiar with the feeling of veneers. Once your final veneers are ready, you’ll return to our office to have them fitted over your natural teeth, creating results we know you’ll love for years to come.

Like with any dental appliance, the lifespan of veneers depends on the material they’re made of. Since porcelain is stronger than composite, it typically lasts longer. On average, porcelain veneers last about 15 years but can last longer if properly cared for.
While bonding and veneers can achieve similar results, they differ in the cost and time required. Bonding is generally used to make minor changes to healthy teeth, while veneers are a better choice for those requiring more significant care. Because bonding is done in our office rather than an off-site laboratory, it is typically more affordable than veneers.
However, depending on the material used to make them, veneers last longer than bonding, typically about 15-25 years. This is a more permanent solution than bonding, which may last 5-10 years. Regardless of the type of dental work done, its lifespan depends on your oral health habits and condition. We can discuss these options with you during your consultation.
