Dental veneers have become a popular cosmetic dentistry solution, offering a remarkable transformation for smiles. While they are designed to last for a significant period, there comes a time when they need replacement. This blog will explore why veneers are replaced after 15-20 years and shed light on the replacement process. Understanding the lifespan and maintenance of veneers is essential for maintaining a dazzling smile that stands the test of time.
The Conservative Nature of Veneers
After 15 to 20 years of having veneers can raise questions. With the initial estimation from doctors that veneers typically endure this duration, what comes next may be a concern. According to Dr. Sbenati, the approach to this situation is notably conservative. When the established time frame is reached, the process involves carefully removing the existing veneers, followed by gently polishing the underlying teeth. Subsequently, a fresh set of veneers is meticulously applied to restore and enhance the smile anew. This approach ensures that your dental health remains a priority while maintaining veneers’ aesthetic enhancements. By embracing this method, the longevity of veneers can be extended, promising enduring dental aesthetics and well-being. As advancements in dental technology continue, this process becomes increasingly refined, offering patients a seamless transition to renewed dental excellence. Your smile’s continued radiance remains a steadfast commitment.
How Many Times Can You Replace The Veneers?
The conservative nature of this approach offers a distinct advantage: the ability to replace veneers as often as desired. This flexibility ensures your smile can be refreshed and revitalized whenever you need a change. Whether it’s due to natural wear and tear, evolving preferences, or advancements in dental aesthetics, replacing veneers becomes an accessible avenue. Embracing this adaptability empowers you to keep your smile harmonious with your evolving style and dental health considerations. The conservative replacement process ensures that each iteration of veneers continues to blend aesthetics with optimal dental function seamlessly.
Why Veneers are Replaced
The main reason why veneers are replaced is that over time what happens is the margin where the veneers meet the tooth degrades over time, kind of like the Islands Analogy if Dr. Sbenati were going to say because the periphery of the lens degrades over The same thing happens with the margin of the veneer.
