Keep in mind that veneers are permanent and require preparation (light shaving) of your natural teeth. Once you receive them, you can't go back to your natural teeth.
The short answer is no.
Nothing will happen to your teeth as long as you take care of your veneers – which is easy to do. Having said this, decay can still occur if veneers aren't installed properly, or you neglect your dental hygiene.
As for the underlying tooth or teeth involved, nothing bad happens. Since a dentist only has to remove a small amount of enamel, nerves and roots are never touched. With the veneers in place, the person's natural teeth remain intact. The natural teeth simply serve as the foundation for the new veneers.
Reversible Veneers. A dentist can place reversible veneers and remove them. However, you can't simply take off at any time. There are two main types of reversible veneers: composite veneers and ceramic no-prep or low-prep veneers.
You cannot remove your porcelain veneers. Dentists bond veneers to teeth, and removing them requires professional equipment and the skill of a cosmetic dentist. If you try it yourself, you can risk damaging your gums or teeth.
Veneers can be replaced several times so long as the tooth structure underneath is solid. The only way your dentist would be able to tell is by removing the veneers themselves. Keep in mind that every time a tooth is worked on, you risk having irreversible damage caused to the tooth.
Since both the composite and porcelain veneers are made from opaque materials, your teeth will not be visible under them.
There are undesired side effects that may occur if you don't replace them, and they are: The dental veneers will chip or crack or get worn down. Composite or porcelain veneers can be durable, but they can start to wear down and may even crack over time. Your tooth supporting the veneer can become decayed.
The ceramic veneers attached to your teeth are extremely thin – so thin, you can often see through them before they are attached. After the veneers have been installed and the mouth has healed, most patients can't even tell the difference between the veneers and their natural teeth.
When the temporary veneers are removed, the altered enamel is briefly exposed to air, so again the area is numbed to prevent any discomfort. After the permanent veneers have been cemented into place, there can be brief period of sensitivity, as with any other invasive dental procedure.
Before undergoing the treatment, many of our clients ask us a similar question: will the veneers damage my natural teeth in any way? The good news is that when fitted properly, your natural teeth will stay as strong and healthy as ever underneath the veneers.
It's crucial to brush your veneers — and teeth — twice a day. We recommend reaching for a non-abrasive toothpaste that's free from gritty ingredients like baking soda and charcoal. And use a soft-bristled manual or electric toothbrush to ensure a thorough yet gentle clean.
No, veneers do not cause bad smells in your mouth. Foul smells can develop around the edges of veneers if you neglect your oral hygiene. We'll explain how and why that happens and — most importantly — what you need to know to make sure it doesn't happen to you.
How Long Do Veneers Last On Front Teeth? With reasonable precautions, dental veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years. While you can eat almost anything you like, we say "reasonable precautions" because dental veneers are not made of an indestructible material.
You can rest assured that veneers do not have to appear fake at all. With a combination of modern technology and experienced dentistry, your treatment is sure to result in veneers that are not only beautiful and transformative but also look incredibly natural.
Veneers should not hinder your biting and chewing in any way or impact the eating of any foods. There should also be minimal or zero changes to your speech. Once veneers have been constructed and fitted to your teeth, they will be very durable and strong.
Dental crowns are typically the best option if your tooth is very damaged, has a large filling, or has undergone a root canal, since the tooth enamel is more compromised and will need better protection. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are best for purely cosmetic purposes.
The porcelain used to make veneers is very hard, but it is slightly more brittle than your natural tooth enamel. This means your veneers are likely to chip or crack if you bite down on hard items like your fingernails, plastic packaging, or beer caps.
Thick and Bulky Porcelain Veneers
Your porcelain veneers can make your teeth look thick and bulky if you have average-sized or large teeth and your dentist doesn't prepare them first. Even ultrathin veneers—as thin as 0.3 mm—add thickness to your teeth and slightly extend their length.

She didn't get veneers until she was around the age of 17 and touring. Veneers covered some alignment issues, made her teeth appear longer, and also brightened her teeth many shades.
The teeth will appear much the same as they did before the veneers, but there is still an overall loss of dental enamel and as we said before, and because of the bonding agent used, re-mineralisation will certainly not occur.
In Conclusion. Veneers are an excellent cosmetic solution for transforming damaged, discolored, or crooked teeth. However, veneers are quite expensive and don't address any underlying issues with dental health. The process takes about 1-3 visits involves trimming down your teeth for the material to be placed.
