WHEN TO HAVE YOUR VENEERS REPLACED

Do you wear porcelain veneers in Belmont? If so, then you probably enjoy the many advantages of having a beautiful, healthy-looking smile, such as a younger appearance and better confidence. While long-lasting, veneers do have a typical lifespan and will eventually need replacing if you want to keep your smile looking its best.

Your porcelain veneers are highly resistant to wear caused by the everyday forces of biting and chewing, as well as staining from beverages and foods like wine, coffee, berries, and tomatoes. However, it’s possible for veneers to lose some of the brightness over the years, wear down with time, and suffer damage due to things like untreated bruxism, participating in athletics without a mouth guard, and poor diet or oral hygiene. Veneers typically last anywhere from 7 to 20 years, and they should be replaced once they are damaged, or they no longer give you the bright, healthy looking smile that you desire.
