Porcelain Veneers and Changing them

If you can explain why you have had them done for a third time, we might be able to give you a better answer. Look forward to hearing back from you. Ron Konig DDS

How long to veneers last?

I have patients that have veneers that have been in place for nearly 15 years and look no different than the day I put them in. If veneers are done according to ideal parameters they can last a lifetime. Several factors can compromise veneeers. If the bite of the patient and alignment of the teeth is off, then they may not last as long. People who grind their teeth and have lsee optimal bites can compromise the longevity of the veneers. If the technique of the... more

Frequent veneer replacement may be a sign

If you are doing them for the third time in 3 years, then yes, I would say something is not right. If this is the third time in 40 years, then that isn't TOO unusual, but I have seen many cases last 25 to 30 years. It depends on "why". If you are just dissatisfied with the look or color, then it isn't a failure of the material. However, each time a tooth is worked on, heat is generated and can cause harm to the tooth or teeth.

3rd Time with Veneers

The important question to answer is how long in between have you gone before they have needed to be replaced. Well done veneers that are well maintained can last 10 years or more. If they are being replaced more frequently for reasons other than aesthetics, you may want to have an experienced cosmetic dentist evaluate the reasons they are failing.

Third Time For Renewing Veneers

The answer to your question depends on many years how many years did you get out of each set of veneers. If you are having them replaced every five years then I would be concerned. If you are getting 1-15 years out of each set then I would not be worried. The newer porcelains and bonding techniques allow for a set of veneers to last much longer than even 7-10 years ago. Make sure that if you are having them redone soon that you have your doctor use a material called... more

3rd time getting veneers

The anser is dependent on how long a time frame you are talking about and exactly why they are being replaced. Are they cracking, denbonding, or caviites. Three times in 10 years is a problem, three times in 30, not as worried. If it is the 3rd time in 10 years than I think whoever has been making them for you is not addressing the exact problem. There could be problems with the bite, the type of cements he is using or your oral hygiene may need improvement. ... more

Redoing Veneers for the Third Time!

It is bad if this is the third time in 10 to 15 year time frame. If you are talking about the third time in a period of 20-30 years that is different. Nothing lasts forever. If you fall into the first category of 10 to 15 years, I would seriously suggest you seek out a specialist in full mouth reconstruction such as a prosthodontist. A prosthodontist takes three more years of training after graduating from dental school in specializing in esthetic restoration of teeth. If... more

What are Risks When Redoing Veneers?

There are many people who have redone veneers through the years. When you decide to redo your veneers make sure you communicate your needs- color, space closure, reshaping, all your revisions should be discussed. Removing old veneers and preparing for new ones can be gentle but you do need to remove everything so some of your preparation must reflect what previous dentists have done. Make sure you voice your needs and are very clear with your expectations... more

Porcelain Veneers last a long time

I have seen Porcelain Veneers last for as much as thirty years. If your Veneers have lasted ten years I would consider this a good result. If the time frame is shorter then there is an underlying reason why they are failing. Many times veneers can fail because of fracture. This is most common when the bite is not correct. You should discuss this with your dentist.
