Ask The Dentist Porcelain Veneers FAQ Jeffrey Hoos

Question:
Replacing Porcelain Veneers:
How easy or difficult is it to remove porcelain veneers and place new ones? ...Visitor from CT

Answer:
The question of "how difficult is it to remove veneers and place new ones" is really a question answered by the question... How well these veneers have been put on and with what cement?

Many times veneers can be easily removed by notching them and they pop off. The tooth structure then needs to "freshened" up, take a new impression, have the lab make the proper shape and color, and then cement the new veneers.

It is important that the shade of the tooth be taken after the old veneers are removed so the lab can fabricate new veneers with the proper shade. This is important because the color of the underlying tooth greatly effects the final shade.

When making new veneers, in our office we take photos and then do a mock up with digital enhancement, to see what the final veneers will look like.

Why do the veneers need to be removed?
Is it because of the shape or the color?
Is it the fit of the veneers to the tooth structure or are you having sensitivity to cold?

These are very important questions that need to be answered before you begin your next veneers. I hope this helps.
