I am a 29 year old female. I want to know how much do they shave off your teeth for veneers?

The amount of tooth removed to fabricate a veneer depends on the type of veneer planned and what needs to be accomplished with each tooth. There are no prep veneers, "no prep veneers"(where some teeth need some removal in certain crowding or rotation cases), minimal prep veneers(0.3-0>8mm), more aggressive prep veneers(0.5-1mm). So 0mm-1mm tooth structure removal for many cases. Rarely more than 1mm of tooth structure needs to be removed for veneers.
From 0.3to 0.5 mm for Veneers.
