Unfortunately nothing is permanent but it's an amazing product that really
enhances one's smile.
As compared to composite restorations, veneers are esthetically pleasing
and don't stain with wine coffee etc.
Just like one can chip off their natural teeth- veneers may chip off as
well.

Nothing is Permanent but as long as your brush and floss and go to your
regular cleanings, the Veneers can last you 10-30 years

Veneers are not fabricated with Zirconia
Yes, zirconia veneers are permanent, Veneers are simpler than a crown, that covers the tooth.
Veneers whether porcelain or zirconia are permanent but with over time the wear and tear of them usually in 7-10 years may need replacement
In my opinion, we prefer to avoid the word 'permanent' in dentistry. Zirconia veneers are the strongest porcelain restorations that we have currently. Their bond strength to the tooth doesn't seem to be as strong as to other porcelains. They will probably not break, but may need to be
rebonded occasionally. I prefer to use Emax porcelain restorations for veneers for their more natural look and better bond strength to the tooth...
Hi, Nothing in dentistry is permanent. Zirconia veneers, like other veneers, have an average life expectancy of 10 years. Proper use and home care are vital to ensure longevity. Veneers fail due to recurrent decay at the margins. Veneers are restorations that cover the outside surfaces of teeth and are strong and beautiful. They are long-lasting. However, they are subject to deterioration over time due to biting forces, what you eat, and how well you maintain them. Always plan to do procedures like veneers under the assumption that they will need to be redone in the future.
Permanent is a tricky word to use in dentistry. The process of having veneers done on your teeth is irreversible, so you will have a veneer cemented onto your tooth. However, they may need to be replaced in the future if they were to ever fracture or have decay occur underneath them. So in that respect, they would not be permanent, but rather a fixed option that is cemented on your tooth.
