Veneers and how do they work?

I have Veneers on my top two front teeth. One tooth was knocked out (a small bit of real tooth remained), the other was cracked. The one that is missing has rods and filling in place behind the Veneer. My question is this. I just had to have them replace (within six months of getting them). The both chipped and broke. Should I assume Veneers are very tender and I will forever have to not eat certain things and be very careful with them? They look incredible, but I am feeling like I wish I would have gotten caps. What are some pointers for having Veneers?

they file the tooth down to where it resembles a stub. veneers last a long time but not forever..you also cannot bite into apples,you have to slice them from now on..never use your front teeth to bite into anything or they will possibly break or come off..veneers are more delicate...if you chew on something hard try chewing on the sides of your teeth rather than biting into something. if you do find it is hard to maintain them you can always do caps later on nothing is forever..the rod you've explained they can put a cap on that too...they do what you call a build up and put a cap over it.good luck:)
Reply:You should think of veneers like fake fingernails. They are cemented on the front of the tooth like a fake fingernail would be. They are thin so you have to be careful with them. You should not bite directly into anything that is really hard because they will break.
