Veneers placed years ago can chip, come loose or stop matching the teeth around them. If yours have started to show their age, the first step is finding out what is actually happening and what caused it.
Let's find a time
When enamel has been prepared for a veneer, that tooth goes on needing a restoration. So an aging veneer is less a failure than a maintenance question that was always part of the original decision. There is no set lifespan, since bite, grinding, preparation, bonding, hygiene and injury all play a part.
Robertson is in Winnipeg, and patients from the area who are wondering about older veneers can request a look at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. The assessment centres on the present state of the veneer, the tooth under it and the gums around it.

A worn veneer tells only part of the story, so the natural tooth at its margin needs checking as well.
Heavy contacts or grinding may have contributed, and a new veneer would face those same forces.
One troubled veneer does not automatically mean every veneer in your mouth has to be redone.
People usually notice one of two things: damage to the veneer itself, or a change in everything surrounding it. Each sends the assessment in a slightly different direction.
These are changes to the restoration, and they may bring up the idea of repair or replacement.
Sometimes the restoration is holding up while its surroundings have moved on over the years.
A loose or debonded veneer is worth reporting promptly. Call the clinic and describe what has happened rather than waiting on an online request.
Because a replacement is still a new restoration, it follows much of the same careful sequence as a first veneer, with the older work as a starting point.
Request your visitYour dentist looks closely at each veneer that worries you, along with the tooth beneath, your gum health and how your teeth contact one another.
Active decay, inflamed gums or an unsettled bite may need care before anything cosmetic. Grinding also deserves discussion if it may have shortened the previous veneer’s life.
A replacement offers a fresh chance to review shape, shade and texture. Photographs and scans document the goals, and a preview may show the proposed direction.
Where replacement proceeds, the tooth is prepared as required and new records are taken. Your new veneer is tried in, then bonded after you both approve it.
You may not remember every detail, particularly if they were placed many years ago. A rough timeline is still helpful, and missing paperwork will not keep you from asking.
Records from the clinic that placed your veneers may be useful. You can ask how to go about having them transferred.
A consultation room with window blinds, and a blue waiting-room bench.
Maybe the first experience was rushed, or you never quite liked the result. Knowing what disappointed you, and what you did like, gives the discussion a far more useful starting point.
Describe anything about your current veneers you have never liked, including colour, length or thickness.
Let us know about any veneered tooth that reacts to cold, sweets or pressure before it is checked.
Agree on a hand signal beforehand so that you can stop for a moment during treatment.
Giving the next set better odds
No one can tell you how long a veneer will last. You can, however, take what you learned from the previous set and use it to reduce the avoidable strain on the new one.
If grinding or clenching contributed before, ask whether a night guard is worth including in your plan this time around.
Keep brushing and cleaning between these teeth normally, as gum changes and decay can develop right where a veneer ends.
Regular dental visits give someone a chance to look at the veneers, and a small problem can be raised before it becomes a bigger one.
Replacement can come up again someday. That is a normal part of having veneers, and it is fair to talk about that from the start.

Ask our teamMention that when you send your request, so the clinic knows what you are asking about. Any earlier records you can have transferred may add useful background to the examination.
Not simply because of age. There is no fixed date on them, so the decision rests on what the examination finds about the veneer, the tooth underneath and the surrounding gums.
Telephone the clinic and explain what happened, because this is not something to leave waiting on the online form. Mention whether anything hurts or feels sharp.
Shade is reviewed as part of planning a replacement, and you can say if you would like a change. It still has to look right beside your natural teeth, which may also have shifted in colour.
Not necessarily, though it is reasonable to have the rest checked. Knowing why the first one failed helps, since grinding or heavy contacts can affect neighbouring restorations too.
That can happen when the tooth has changed since the original treatment. If a veneer no longer suits it, another restoration may be raised, and you can ask how the choices differ.
Send the request on this page, or ring (204) 338-3003 if you would prefer to explain things by voice. You would be seen at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Sometimes a tooth under an aging veneer needs different treatment. Ask whether one of these applies once your assessment is done.
