Questions to Ask Before Veneers

Veneers can change the look of teeth, but they are a restorative decision with trade-offs. Use these questions at a consult — this is orientation, not a recommendation to get veneers.

Questions for the clinician

  • Are veneers appropriate for my goals, or are there alternatives?
  • How much tooth structure would need to be prepared?
  • Porcelain vs composite — what are you recommending for my case and why?
  • How many visits are typical from consult to final placement?
  • What is the expected lifespan, and what maintenance is required?
  • What happens if a veneer chips or comes off?
  • Will my bite or speech change during or after the process?
  • What is included in the estimate (temps, lab fees, adjustments)?

Before you book

  • Clarify goals with photos of what you like / dislike
  • Ask about a trial smile or temporary preview if offered
  • Confirm who does the work and where the lab work is done
  • Review warranty / remake policies in writing
