How do you deal with tooth decay when you have veneers? Wouldn't having veneers on top of your real teeth make decay more likely because food could get stuck in between them and cause cavities?

Answer: Decay? No restoration that a dentist places in your mouth should promote tooth decay.Veneers are placed with a bonded seal over the entire front surface of the tooth and wrap over the bottom edge. They are very strong, when placed properly. They should feel like natural teeth, floss like natural teeth, and have no excess spaces or places that the floss gets caught or shreds. The combination of proper placement, proper contours, and smooth edges should not promote decay. Decay comes from the patient....you not flossing, not getting cleanings and exams, and generally poor MAINTAINANCE of your new smile.

Answer: Dental veneers and decay A perfect design of veneer, good fit and finish from dentist and then meticulous oral hygiene regime will prevent tooth decay. Once you have veneers fitted, just floss and check if gets stuck, if it does ask your dentist to correct it. Veneers are porcelain layer on teeth so you still have your natural teeth underneath. Your teeth will still need that extra care to keep them clean.
