How often porcelain laminate veneers are replaced?
The restorations are permanent, but in some cases they may need to be renewed.
To give examples of such situations;
- Gingival recession may occur over the years and the harmony of the restoration may deteriorate accordingly
- As the tone of the lip muscles decreases with age, teeth may not be seen as much as desired when speaking and laughing
- Fractures or cracks in the restorations may occur if there is an excessive bite of hard objects or an untreated clenching/grinding problem. In such cases, the restorations need to be renewed by taking new impressions.
