Veneers can make a beautiful, natural-looking difference—but like any dental restoration, they aren’t designed to last forever. This patient’s original veneers were placed about 20 years ago, and over time, you can see some of the changes that can occur: a fractured edge in one veneer, a crack through the centre of another veneer and recession around another veneer exposing the root.. Even with quality veneers and proper care, they typically have a lifespan of around 10–15 years.
For this patient, we were able to provide a quick repair to the broken veneer as an emergency solution, restoring her smile while she considers her long-term options. Replacing the older veneers would provide a more comprehensive solution. Every smile and situation is different, which is why an assessment with your dentist is the best way to determine what’s right for you
