How much shaving is required for porcelain veneer?

nila b pJun 21, 2022
I am planning for porcelain veneer. But I am worried about the health of the teeth because the average life of the veneer is approximately 10 yr according to my dentist. After that I visited a cosmetic dentist and I discussed my concern and he added that while re-veneering there is further shaving of the teeth required for new veneers. So guide me what to do, I am highly interested to get veneers done but the only concern is shaving the teeth every time would compromise the health of teeth.

Have you mentioned this to the provider that placed them? It seems pretty obvious in that photo. In most cases the dentist wants to create a look that the patient is happy with. If there is a mistake - most of us would take those 2 off and remake them.
