Veneers are made of one of two materials: porcelain or composite resin. Both of these materials are commonly used in dentistry, most often for crowns and fillings. Depending on the aesthetic you’re looking to achieve, your dentist will help you decide which will work best for your needs.
Porcelain veneers are the most natural looking and longest lasting of the two options, and are often crafted in the dental lab and applied by the dentist. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last anywhere from 10-20 years. While porcelain veneers are favored by most patients for their cosmetic appeal and durability, they are the more expensive of the two options.
Composite resin veneers can be applied directly onto the tooth by a dentist in the office, this process is sometimes called dental bonding and can be useful for mending smaller chips or defects in teeth as opposed to covering the entire front of the tooth. While composite veneers are significantly cheaper than porcelain, they typically only last about 5 years.
No matter which type of veneer you choose, know that eventually they will need to be replaced.
Tooth enamel is made of minerals, and when exposed to strong acid, its mineral content (and strength) can be stripped away. A naturally occurring mineral, fluoride is scientifically proven to strengthen teeth by attracting minerals to the surface of tooth enamel, which will ultimately help replenish lost mineral content. Strong, healthy tooth enamel is key in protecting teeth against cavity causing bacteria. Fluoride treatments are quick and easy and involve simply applying a fluoridated varnish or gel to the teeth.
Treat your veneers like you would your natural teeth by brushing and flossing regularly and seeing your dentist for your twice yearly check-ups. Try to use non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. If discoloration was a prior problem, consider limiting your intake of stain-causing substances like coffee or tobacco, as dental prosthetics like veneers, crowns and bridges cannot be whitened in the future. While porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, composite veneers are liable to stain like natural teeth, so stay on top of your oral care.
Understand that your veneers will need to be replaced in the future. While porcelain veneers can last between 10-20 years with good care and composite veneers can last up to 5 years, they’ll need to be traded in for a new set once they wear out. Take time to consider if veneers are the best option for you, because once the enamel is trimmed from the front of your tooth, it can’t be left uncovered again.
