Veneers that are covering the tooth can not cavity, but your tooth that is supporting the veneer can get cavity.In most cases the veneer can be saved by removal of the cavity and bonding the filling to the existing tooth. Depending on where the cavity is, the dentist and you will make a decision if it can be blended or you need to redo your veneer. Usually if the cavity is from the palatal side, or lingual side and the xtent of cavity is not large, you can salvage the veneer.
Thanks for asking the question. Well, that totally depends upon the tooth cavity. If the cavity is minor and veneers is not affected with it then your dentist will clean the tooth and use the older veneer otherwise you need new one after tooth filling.
Often, the decay can be removed and the cavity filled with a white filling material that blends with the veneer. No guarantee, but often we can do this. Hopefully, your cavity is small enough for it to go this way.
Hi, thanks for sending your question. Depending on the size of the cavities the veneers may or may not be disturbed. Its important not to wait for the treatment since that can only complicate the outcome.All the best.
The answer depends on where the cavity is related to the veneer and how deep the cavity is. The veneer can be weakened by the decay being in the tooth.

From your smile photos, it seems like a large discrepancy between the gum symmetry and since you have a high lip line, it obviously shows. The porcelain veneer over the crown is really not the answer! Possibly redo drown and at the gum line place pink composite to blend to your gums,...
There's no medical need to delay getting porcelain veneers after body contouring surgeries like a tummy tuck, lipo, or BBL, as long as you feel comfortable and have recovered enough to sit through a dental procedure. It's always a good idea to discuss your recent surgeries and anesthesia history...
