4 Signs That You Should Replace Your Veneers | 90211 Dentist

Emergency Dentist Beverly Hills CA

As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever; that applies to amenities, relationships, and even people. Unfortunately, this truth also covers dental veneers. While they may start white and shiny, these porcelain layers eventually stop working with time. Therefore, you’ll want to know when to replace them so that your smile stays beautiful. Luckily, your Beverly Hills dentist can help you do so: Here are four signs that the time for replacing veneers has come.

 

The Veneers are Getting Darker

With time, the dental cement used for veneers darkens. While this isn’t always an issue, you may be able to see the darkening through the porcelain layer.

As it turns out, there’s no way to lighten the cement back up. Consequently, the only choice for restoring your smile’s appearance is to remove the veneer and apply a new one to your tooth.

They’re Chipped, Cracked, or Rough

Like natural teeth, veneers will experience natural wear and tear through use. However, this process can cause their porcelain to roughen and lose shape after a certain point. It can also lead to cracks or chips in the veneer.

If you can feel rough edges on the veneers when you run your teeth over them, they may need switching out.

They Separate from Your Teeth or Gums

While dental veneers tend to be durable, the same can’t always be said of your teeth and gums. If a tooth suffers from decay, its condition could cause an attached veneer to separate. Similarly, receding gums can create a gap between themselves and the nearby porcelain.

Needless to say, veneers that can’t stay in your mouth need replacement.

Their Stains Won’t Lift

While veneers are stain-resistant, that doesn’t mean they’re stain-proof. Drinks like coffee, cola, and red wine, as well as acidic foods, can stain them. However, stains can be lifted early in their lives with vigorous toothbrushing.

When these stains no longer lift, you should replace your veneers. Unlike your natural teeth, they can’t be bleached or whitened. Therefore, the only alternative to brushing the stains away will be to get new, white veneers.

Remember, dental veneers can last up to twenty years with good care. Practice good oral hygiene to hold off the above signs as long as possible!
