How can I detect cavity under veneer with opaque resin?

Asked By:jyshrek in Tenafly, NJ

I have been treated with veneer after opaque resin due to tooth discoloration. Is there a possibility that cavity will be generated on my teeth? I am worried due to opaque resin the dark cavity cannot be detected. If cavity appears, will it deterioatate through opaque resin as well and be visible from outside? Also, will X-ray be able to detect the cavity?
