I&#8217;m happy for that! I\u2019ve read bad stories online about veneers coming completely off. My case is different. My veneers look like they are sliding down or maybe pulling away from my gums. I got the veneers in July \u201914 so they are a little more than a year old. 3 of the 8 seem to be sliding down. My dentist took a look at them and said she will fill in the gap or margin. I am wondering what the chances are that this will be a repeat performance on the other 5 teeth. Also how often will I have to get this done or retouched? Is this normal? I have already asked my dentist all of these questions and she answered them, but I need a second opinion. When I got the veneers I wasn&#8217;t told about this possibility and the maintenance required on them.\u00a0Thanks. Hope J.<\/p>\n<p>Hope J. \u2013 It is not normal for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/porcelain-veneers\/\">new porcelain veneers<\/a> to develop a gap at the margin. This problem is often due to improper bonding technique. Whether or not you will experience the issue with the other veneers depends on whether or not they were properly bonded.<\/p>\n<p>If the restoration of the three veneers isn\u2019t done properly, it may need to be repeated. Dr. Szarek would need to examine your teeth and veneers to determine why the gap is occurring and to let you know if you can expect the issue with your other veneers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s good that you are asking questions now. We recommend that you schedule an appointment for an examination with an accredited cosmetic dentist in your area. The examination will provide you with accurate information on your veneers, what you can expect for the future, and how to avoid a recurring issue.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/\">Lowell, MA\u00a0accredited cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Michal Szarek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>None of my 8 porcelain veneers have fallen off.
