    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Porcelain veneers are designed to provide a lasting change in appearance, but their lifespan is not the same for everyone. The condition of the underlying teeth, daily care, bite forces, and habits all matter.

    Continue brushing, cleaning between the teeth, and attending recommended dental visits. Porcelain itself does not develop cavities, but the tooth around or beneath a veneer can still decay.

    Veneers can chip, crack, wear, or become loose. Grinding, biting hard objects, and injuries may cause damage. Regular checks help identify whether a veneer needs adjustment, repair, or replacement.
