Are you unhappy with the appearance of your teeth? Fortunately, veneers<\/a> are the perfect solution for many patients to get the beautiful, picture-perfect smile that screams confidence. While veneers have numerous benefits and are long-lasting, this doesn\u2019t mean that they are made to last the rest of your life. From time to time, they need to be replaced. Continue reading to learn a few reasons why you may want to get new veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Dental Veneers Are Damaged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While dental veneers are made out of a durable material called porcelain, they aren\u2019t completely indestructible. If you notice any cracks, chips, or that they are worn down along the edges or elsewhere, you should have them looked at by your dentist. They will be able to determine the severity of the damage and may recommend that you have them replaced with new veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supporting Tooth Is Hurt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to have healthy, beautiful veneers, the supporting teeth must be healthy as well. Even when you have veneers, you are still able to experience tooth decay from poor oral hygiene or other reasons. In rare cases, the veneer can even start to separate from the tooth that it\u2019s attached to. If your underlying tooth isn\u2019t healthy, you will need to have it treated before moving forward with cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Veneer Is Becoming Discolored<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to adhere the veneer to the front surface of your tooth, a special dental cement is used. It is very effective, but it is still able to naturally darken over time. Eventually, you can even see it through your veneer. There isn\u2019t an effective way to lighten this cement once this happens, so your best option would be to have the veneer and cement removed and have a new one placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stains Are Not Lifting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain veneers are very resistant to staining, but it can still happen over time. This is especially the case if you like to enjoy coffee, cola, red wine, tea, or acidic foods. The problem is that veneers cannot be whitened like your tooth enamel can. The only way to remove stains from veneers is through a thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Veneer Is Rough Around the Edges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you eat and chew, your veneers can wear down over time. Afterall, they are put under a lot of pressure on a regular basis. If you notice that they are beginning to lose their shape, veneer replacement may be in your near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers offer incredible results, but they aren\u2019t always a lifelong commitment. With proper care and by seeing your dentist regularly, you will be showing off your gorgeous veneers for a long time down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
