Step 1
Expect a poor fit to be the most common complication. This usually occurs when the veneer is thicker than the layer of enamel that is removed.
-
Step 2
Test the sensitivity of your teeth. You may find it more difficult to drink hot and cold beverages because some of the enamel on your teeth must be removed.
-
Step 3
Check the final color after the veneers have been applied. They may not match your other teeth and they cannot be altered once they are in place. Veneers made of composite resin are less resistant to staining than those made of porcelain and your dentist may advise you to avoid staining beverages such as coffee, red wine and tea.

Step 4
Find out about the risk of the veneers chipping. This is a rare complication but if it does occur, the veneers probably will have to be replaced as damage is usually not repairable.
-
Step 5
Look at the possibility of the veneers becoming dislodged or falling off. This is also unlikely when properly done, but not all dentists have extensive experience with this procedure.
