The most common aesthetic and functional reasons are: -changing tooth color - unsightly color and severe or permanent discoloration that cannot be corrected with whitening treatments. -fractures and damage - minor cracks or reflection of a tooth fragment can be effectively masked by veneers, restoring the teeth to their natural appearance -a gap between teeth (diastema) -changing the shape or size of teeth - veneers can be used to correct teeth that are considered too small, too large, too short, too long or improperly shaped to improve the overall aesthetics of the smile -tooth wear -unaligned and misaligned teeth - in some cases, veneers can be an alternative to orthodontics

They can be divided into several categories, depending on the patient's health, habits and the condition of the teeth and gums. Some of the main contraindications are: -advanced gum disease - their condition affects the durability and stability of veneers -significant cavities - damaged teeth may require other forms of treatment that will better restore and protect the teeth -bruxism (teeth grinding) - due to higher risk of damage to veneers; in this case, the dentist may recommend wearing a special protective splint at night or other forms of treatment before applying veneers -inadequate oral hygiene - can lead to decay under the veneers or gum disease, thus affecting the durability of the veneers -thin enamel - patients with naturally thin enamel may not have enough material for safe veneer placement -abnormal bite - orthodontic treatment may be necessary before considering veneers to ensure better stability and function

Porcelain veneers can last from ten to fifteen years, and with proper care even longer - some patients' veneers serve for as long as 20 years or more. However, it is important to remember that despite the high resistance of porcelain veneers to discoloration and damage, they can crack or fall off if they are exposed to strong mechanical forces. Fitting problems or gum infections may also require veneers to be replaced before their expected lifespan.

The most important factors for prolonging the life of veneers are: -proper oral hygiene - regular brushing, flossing and rinsing the mouth -avoiding harmful habits - such as teeth grinding, nail biting, chewing hard objects such as ice -regular visits to the dentist - professional cleaning and inspection of the condition of veneers and natural teeth help prevent potential problems -protecting your veneers - if you grind your teeth, wearing a night splint, avoiding excessive consumption of products that can cause staining, such as coffee, red wine, tobacco

Veneers, whether porcelain or composite, are firmly adhered to the surface of the teeth, but there is a possibility that they can fall off under adverse conditions. Here are some reasons why veneers can peel off or fall off: - improper fit or problems with the adhesive -regular grinding of teeth -strong impact or trauma -biting hard objects such as a pen, ice, nails -poor oral hygiene -enamel decay

Yes, but it requires a thorough evaluation by a dentist who will suggest the best aesthetic and functional solution. Veneers can be an effective way to improve the appearance of a dead, often darker tooth if: -the dead tooth is stable and healthy enough to support a veneer -the tooth has healthy gums and a strong root

Veneers, especially those made of porcelain, are known for their very good resistance to staining and usually retain their color for a long time. Porcelain is a material that is less affected by staining substances, such as tea, red wine or tobacco, than natural teeth. However, there are circumstances in which veneers can change color: -pigmentation on the edges of the teeth - if the adhesive used to attach the veneer begins to age, slight discoloration may appear on the edges of the veneer, close to the gum line; however, this is not a change in the color of the porcelain itself, but the result of adhesive discoloration or bacterial plaque buildup -changing the color of the tooth under the veneer - when the veneer is thin and the tooth underneath it begins to darken (for example, due to necrosis or root canal treatment), this can make the veneer appear darker -composite veneers - veneers made of composite materials may be more susceptible to discoloration than porcelain ones, due to the material's more porous structure; maintaining their original color may require more diligent hygiene and regular dental visits -physical damage - in rare cases, damage to the surface of a veneer, such as a crack or scratch, can make it more susceptible to discoloration

Veneers, whether porcelain or composite, do not undergo the whitening process in the same way as natural teeth. The material from which veneers are made is opaque and resistant to bleaching agents, which means that they will not change their color as a result of standard bleaching procedures. At the same time, they are more resistant to discoloration. Here is some key information about their color: -Color retention - veneers are designed to retain their color over time. They are resistant to most stains, but like natural teeth, they can undergo slight color changes from prolonged exposure to highly staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco -color selection - the dentist selects the color that best matches the patient's natural teeth or the desired end result; if the patient plans to whiten natural teeth, it is best to do so before the veneers are made, so that the color can be matched to the new, lighter shade of the teeth -care - in order to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the veneers, it is recommended to avoid products that can cause discoloration and to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleaning; the dentist may recommend the use of special oral hygiene products to help keep the veneers in good condition -changing the color - if a patient is unhappy with the color of his or her veneers, the only way to change it is to put on new veneers of the desired shade
