Although these sheaths may be a bit more resistant to wear-and-tear than your real teeth, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that your real pearly whites are still hidden beneath them. Read on to learn whether veneers get cavities and what you can do to get the most out of your new-and-improved smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Veneers Get Cavities?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While veneers themselves can\u2019t get cavities since they\u2019re made of porcelain, your underlying natural teeth that they\u2019re attached to still can. It\u2019s crucial to keep your natural teeth healthy because they\u2019re anchoring the veneers in place, not to mention, escalating oral health problems can lead to dire consequences for your smile, like having to replace missing teeth. If one of the teeth supporting a veneer does get a cavity, the restoration will need to be removed so a filling can be placed, meaning you\u2019ll need to have a new veneer secured to the affected tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Cavities Develop Beneath Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though your veneers are shielding the front, visible surface of your tooth, that doesn\u2019t mean that your natural teeth are protected. There are several reasons in which decay could develop beneath your restoration, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If a veneer has been on for too many years, causing bacteria and debris to build-up beneath the restoration or on the back side of the tooth that isn\u2019t covered by the veneer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a veneer isn\u2019t properly installed on the tooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a veneer is placed over a tooth that has pre-existing decay or weakened enamel instead of the issue being treated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you don\u2019t maintain good oral hygiene, leading to a build-up of bacteria, plaque, and tartar in the mouth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caring for Your Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you opt for veneers, know that they can last for 25 or more years with the right care, so they\u2019re a great investment! With that being said, you\u2019ll still need to put effort into caring for them to extend their lifespan and make them last. Here are some best practices for preserving your veneers and maintaining good oral health:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Entrust your treatment with a skilled professional that knows what they\u2019re doing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit your dentist once every six months for a checkup and cleaning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat a balanced diet, being sure to avoid foods that could damage your restorations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain a good at-home oral hygiene routine of brushing twice each day and flossing daily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By putting these few steps into action, you can make getting dental veneers to rejuvenate your grin a much better investment in your time and money. Not only will your new smile thank you, but your wallet will, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Arrechea has over 20 years of experience practicing dentistry and loves seeing her patients smile and feel confident in their oral health.
