Do Veneers on Molars Chip?

If you get veneers on your molars be sure to have the Dr really check your bite and your side to side grinding habits. A nightguard can be worn at nite to protect your veneers from chipping also. When I do veneers, all my patients get a nightguard to protect their investments and time.

This is a great question. Porcelain on molar teeth has been widely used for decades.  An all porcelain crown or veneer on a molar tooth should be made from the new higher compressive strength porcelains now available, such as E-Max from Ivoclar.  If care is taken to adjust for the patient's individual bite, a molar veneer functions very well.

If done well, the odds are in your favor, but nothing in life is 100%. Managing the bite is key, but it is done all the time.
