What are the risks and recovery expectations?

Risks are low but may include temporary tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, minor gum irritation, or rare cases of veneer chipping or debonding. Recovery is immediate—you can eat and speak normally after the bonding appointment, though you should avoid hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain the veneers, which typically last 10–15 years with good care.
