What should be considered and what can go wrong?
Critical is the veneer sizing and colouration. Veneers cannot be altered in shade once fixed in place, so you will stuck with them or have to undergo an expensive replacement. Poor fitting venners can result in a bad bite, or exacerbate an existing bite issue. Another common problem is badly bonded veneers.
Do Dental Veneers Require Special Care?
* No. Good oral hygiene practices are still encouraged including brushing and flossing as you normally would.
* Even though porcelain veneers resist stains, it is recommended that you still avoid stain-causing foods and beverages (for example, coffee, tea or red wine).
Veneers generally last between 10 and 15 years. After this time, the veneers may need replacement
