Because of the modifications made to underlying teeth as part of the porcelain veneer placement process, veneers that have become worn down or damaged will have to be replaced. Porcelain veneers may also be replaced for a variety of reasons — you may have been fitted with veneers that are uncomfortably large for your mouth, or unsightly discolorations may have appeared over time.
Porcelain veneer replacement is quite similar to the veneers’ initial placement. After removing the veneers and as much bonding material as possible, your cosmetic dentist will take an impression and create a new porcelain veneer to fit your tooth. The new veneer is then bonded to your existing tooth just like before.
On average, veneers last about 10 years, and as dental porcelain becomes stronger and more durable, their lifespan may increase significantly over time. Veneers, like natural teeth, are still susceptible to damage. If a veneer breaks or comes off, store any missing pieces and bring them to your dentist for repair or reattachment.
Alternative options include dental crowns or cosmetic bonding. Fortunately, patients typically do not experience discomfort if a veneer breaks or comes off.
Getting a dental veneer usually requires three trips to the dentist – one for a consultation and two to make and apply the veneers.

Composite bonding is a cosmetic technique where a type of dental material — composite resin — is shaped and molded on your teeth to give the appearance of a straighter, whiter smile. It can correct chipped teeth, gaps, and stains. Unlike porcelain veneers, which may require multiple visits, composite bonding can be completed in one appointment.
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance.
They can be made from porcelain or resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth more effectively.
No, dental implants are fixed solidly in the bone and allow teeth to be replaced in a manner closest to natural teeth.
Conscientious home care by the patient and regular professional cleanings and check-ups are essential for dental implant longevity.
The cost will vary by patient needs, bone quantity, and region.
Dental implants make eating easier since they function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain. They can also improve self-esteem and comfort compared to removable dentures.
Almost anyone who is missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth can be a candidate for dental implants.
A dental implant is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. It’s a small titanium post inserted into the jawbone, on top of which a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached.
