Replacing Porcelain Veneers & Dental Implant Crown For A Front Tooth

Our case of the month for December was a stunning one involving the replacement of old porcelain veneers and a dental implant crown for a front tooth.

How Often Do Porcelain Veneers Need To Be Replaced

Porcelain veneers are a great way to improve overall aesthetics and are considered to be the most beautiful of all dental restorations for front teeth. However, as with anything in life, they will not last forever! Replacement veneers will often be needed every 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear. There is also the issue of gum recession over time which can show the margin of the veneer and be unsightly.

Replacing Veneers & Implant

This was apparent in our case with one veneer falling off and gum recession showing affecting the smile line. The other front tooth was a dental implant. To make sure the very best results were seen, we had to replace this tooth and change all of the existing veneers. Expert work from Dr Nissit Patel and Luke Barnett dental lab gave a tremendous end result. Just take a look:
