How long can you expect a new smile to last? Porcelain veneers<\/a> tend to have a lifespan around 10 to 20 years depending on the quality of care they receive, but at some point, they will have to be replaced for one reason or another. If you\u2019ve become accustomed to having a brighter, more attractive smile thanks to veneers, then you\u2019ll definitely want to have them replaced as soon as possible so that you can continue to enjoy the benefits of cosmetic dentistry. Here are 4 warning signs that your current veneers won\u2019t last much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. The Veneers are Becoming Darker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cement used to hold veneers in place will start to darken over time. Since porcelain veneers are semi-translucent, the darkening will be visible. There\u2019s no way to reverse this darkening, so if you want to maintain a bright white smile, the cement will have to be removed along with the veneers that it\u2019s holding in place. Then a fresh layer of cement is applied so that you can receive new veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Veneers Have Become Irreversibly Stained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers do not stain as easily as natural teeth \u2013 the key phrase being \u201cas easily.\u201d Eventually, dark-colored beverages and foods such as coffee and blueberries can leave a permanent mark on your restorations. Since porcelain cannot be bleached or whitened the way enamel can, the only way to get rid of a stain that doesn\u2019t respond to brushing is to replace the veneer entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Veneers are Starting to Develop Rough Edges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain is very durable, but even it can become worn down from the daily rigors of biting and chewing. You\u2019ll know that your veneers are starting to show their age when the edges start to feel rough and cracks start to form. They may even start to lose their overall shape. It\u2019s best to have them replaced as soon as possible once the damage becomes noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. You Notice Signs That the Veneers Were Improperly Applied or Fitted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes veneer replacements have to be performed sooner than you\u2019d like due to the restoration not being placed properly in the first place. In some cases, they might fall off because they weren\u2019t attached to the teeth securely enough. In others, the veneers themselves might not have been designed to fit correctly, which can cause discomfort. Get in touch with your dentist immediately so that the issue can be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve gotten used to the new and improved smile created by your veneers, you\u2019ll definitely want to protect it, and that means keeping an eye out for the above warning signs. That way, you can set up an appointment for veneer replacement as quickly as possible when you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
