Hello, I’m Dr. Eve Libby at the Implant Center of Miami located in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. Since graduating from NYU College of Dentistry in 2014, I have specialized in implant and restorative dentistry. Today, I'd like to share some insights into the longevity of dental veneers and how to ensure they last for decades.

Dental veneers, when properly maintained, can last for many years. Regular dental cleanings and bite checks are crucial for maintaining the health and stability of your veneers. However, one of the most critical factors in the longevity of veneers is choosing the right dentist. I've encountered numerous patients who have had issues with veneers detaching, often due to inadequate tooth preparation or improper bonding techniques.

The success of a dental veneer greatly depends on how the tooth is prepared and how the veneer is bonded to the tooth. There are specific guidelines that must be followed to ensure the veneer fits perfectly and remains secure. For instance, the shape and depth of the tooth preparation must be precisely managed to create an optimal surface for bonding.

To enhance my skills in this area, I attended a specialized course in Boston focused exclusively on the bonding procedures for veneers. This training helped me understand the detailed chemistry behind each step of the veneer application process. Since adopting these meticulous techniques, I have not had a single restoration detach.

Choosing a dentist who not only has a strong understanding of the technical aspects of veneer application but also possesses an eye for aesthetics is essential. If you’re considering veneers or have any concerns about your dental health, please contact us at the Implant Center of Miami for a consultation.
