While dental veneers use quality materials, they don\u2019t (and won\u2019t) last forever. Even the best of these shells<\/a> only work for a couple of decades at most. With that said, you might easily wonder: How do you know when you should replace your veneers? Rather than let you ponder endlessly, your Manchester dentist is here to provide a solid answer. Just keep reading to learn some major signs that you should replace your veneers soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Veneered Teeth Have Cavities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the teeth beneath your veneers have cavities, you should get new shells. The old ones won\u2019t do you much good anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, a veneer is made to stick tightly to the underlying tooth. This design ensures the shell can block debris, \u201cbad\u201d bacteria, and other harmful materials. Once the underlying tooth has decayed, a veneer has clearly stopped fulfilling these functions. It should thus be removed so the cavity can be treated, and so a replacement can be applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Shells are Chipped & Cracked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When veneers look chipped or cracked, it\u2019s a good time to have them replaced. After all, they won\u2019t improve your appearance in their current state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The material used for veneers \u2013 porcelain \u2013 can chip and crack as time passes. As such, the shells may break down as you eat hard foods, grind your teeth, and clench your jaw. This process sometimes results in chipped or cracked veneers, which have compromised cosmetic functions. Replacing these restorations is often best; keeping them ruins your grin\u2019s looks and affects your ability to eat and speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Veneers Look Dark & Stained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that dark and stained veneers don\u2019t look good. With that said, you should replace them with new ones when possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are stain-resistant and don\u2019t darken easily, but they aren\u2019t \u201cstain-proof.\u201d Having many pigmented foods and drinks can cause them to discolor after a while. Adding insult to injury, such discoloration can\u2019t be reversed; veneers can\u2019t be whitened like natural teeth. The only \u201csolution\u201d for stained veneers is to replace them with bright and white ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Have Receding Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d also do well to replace veneers if your gums are receding. In that scenario, your shells just won\u2019t work very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receded gums can make veneers separate, you see. The recession process makes a gap form between the shells and their teeth, causing the restorations to look fake. It also forces the veneers to come loose and, if left unchecked, fall out of your mouth. You\u2019ll want to quickly replace the shells to avoid those outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn other signs you should replace your veneers, consult your dental team. They\u2019ll gladly share more details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
