Dental veneers are thin shells of custom-made porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are a popular choice for people who want to improve the appearance of their smile.
Veneers can be used to correct a wide range of dental problems, including:
•
Chipped or broken teeth
•
Discolored teeth
•
Misshapen teeth
•
Gaps between teeth
•
Worn-down teeth
Replacement veneers are used when existing veneers need to be replaced. This can be due to a number of reasons, such as:
•
The veneers have chipped or broken
•
The veneers have become discolored
•
The veneers have come loose
•
The patient has had a change in their bite
The process for replacing veneers is similar to the process for getting veneers in the first place. Your dentist will first remove the old veneers. They will then prepare your teeth for the new veneers by removing a small amount of enamel. The new veneers will then be bonded to your teeth.
There are a few things to keep in mind when considering replacement veneers:
•
Replacement veneers are more expensive than getting veneers for the first time. This is because the dentist needs to remove the old veneers and prepare your teeth for the new ones.
•
The process of replacing veneers can take longer than getting veneers for the first time. This is because the dentist needs to remove the old veneers and prepare your teeth for the new ones.
•
Replacement veneers are not always necessary. If your existing veneers are in good condition, you may not need to replace them.
If you are considering replacement veneers, it is important to talk to your dentist about your options. They will be able to help you decide if replacement veneers are right for you and answer any questions you may have.
