Porcelain veneers are durable and long-lasting, however, after many years of wear, they may no longer have their original glossiness.
Much like our regular teeth, veneers are susceptible to damage and staining, meaning they can gradually discolour and lose the attractive whiteness you once chose them for. And whilst veneers can help to protect the natural tooth below, they are not invincible. If not treated with due care and attention, they can chip, crack, or yellow just as natural teeth would.
Keeping regular appointments with your dentist after having veneers applied can ensure that any problems are spotted early, along with any signs of ageing or decreased functionality.
But these are not the only reasons people may seek replacement veneers.
A change in colour preference – perhaps you went too ‘Hollywood’ white last time and would like a more muted, natural appearance, or maybe you don’t feel you went white enough? Or perhaps you opted for composite veneers and would prefer to switch to porcelain now finances allow?
There can be many reasons why people opt for replacement veneers – so it’s reassuring to know the procedure is not only possible but is just as straightforward as it was the first time around, and an effective way to bring back the shine, glamour, and glossiness they once had.
