It’s a common misconception that veneers ruin teeth, but this isn’t true—veneers preserve the overall integrity and health of your tooth structure because only a small amount of enamel needs to be removed in order to place them. Once the enamel is removed, you will always need to wear veneers because they replace the tooth enamel and form a protective barrier to prevent decay. The exception to this is no-prep veneers, a solution that is thinner than traditional veneers and requires little-to-no enamel removal.
