Tips to Maintain the Quality of Your Porcelain Veneer
Veneers are as vulnerable as natural teeth.There are several things that you can do to ensure that your porcelain veneers do not require repair or replacement:
Initially, individuals should ensure they visit their dentist as soon as they can if a chip or fissure is noticed on the film, as the longer it is left, the more often the installation will become damaged beyond repair
Visit your dentist twice a year
Brush and floss regularly
Wear mouth guards when playing contact sports
Do not chew on objects not meant to be chewed
Why Would a Veneer Need to be Replaced?
A porcelain veneer can only really fail completely in three ways:
It comes off and can't be put back in for whatever reason
It chips or fractures and cannot be repaired.

what is Dental veneers ?
Veneers are an effective way to restore teeth that are chipped, stained, discoloured, crooked or have gaps. A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail. A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again. The porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth with a thicker section replacing the broken part.
