veneers can last …
veneers can last well over 10 years because they are bonded directly to the enamel which is the strongest bond possible. It really depends on how the patient treats their teeth, if they grind, but they are very strong like natural teeth. The most critical aspect is to study the wear of the individual patient’s teeth and their bite. They cost on an average range from $800-$1000 per tooth depending on the circumstance. Keep in mind that the results are in the details.

The natural teeth …
The natural teeth under the veneers remain as they are. In fact, this conservative treatment is actually better for the gum tissue and teeth than full crowns.

Her finished result was fantastic. How long do you have to wait for the gums to heal before proceeding with the veneers.
And also, can you widen small teeth a smidgen as well as lengthening them.
As you say its in the detail.

your natural teeth …
your natural teeth will last a life time if you properly take care of them. Believe me, I place and restore implants and they are not only much more expensive, but they are not natural. If you need them let me know. Dr. Antolak
