Will I need dentures after getting veneers?

Hello there,I'm sorry to hear that you've been given this misinformation.  There is absolutely no link between getting veneers and the need for dentures.  I would recommend that you see an experienced cosmetic dentist for a complete evaluation to determine your options, and always look at before and after photos when choosing your dentist. They will give you a good idea about what you can expect. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSt. Louis, MO area (O'Fallon, IL)Real Self 100

There are dentists that believe that enamel is sacred, and any removal will result in loss of teeth eventually (over time, not immediately).  This is normally due to their own observation, usually of their own work.  Most often it is due to lack of education and quality experience (not longevity of career; there are dentists with 40 years experience that aren't very good).A well placed veneer, properly designed, is actually a stronger and more durable solution than leaving a tooth alone.  It is not bulletproof, so care is still needed, but to say veneering a tooth is absolutely dooming it is specious and suggests you need to find a new dentist.

You are not getting accurate information from your current dentist, and I highly recommend that you seek the advice and opinion of one or more additional dentists before you proceed with any treatment. There's no reason to think that a patient would need dentures after having veneers. If you are concerned about removal of enamel, there are veneers which are minimal preparation or no preparation that can be utilized in many cases.Douglas Jopling, DDSDallas,  TX ares
