Like most cosmetic procedures, there are both risks and benefits of porcelain veneers. Firstly, porcelain veneers are permanent. They bond to your teeth, making removal not a practical option. However, veneers can last up to 20 years with proper care. Porcelain veneers are still susceptible to breakage, chips, and even falling out if you are consuming hard foods or grinding your teeth. They are strong but not indestructible.
