How long do dental veneers last?

Veneers are strong and chip-resistant. Typically, a veneer lasts approximately 5-10 years. The lifespan of your dental veneers depends on your upkeep and maintenance, the health of your natural teeth and gums, as well as certain lifestyle factors. Like you care for your natural teeth, dental veneers also need proper care and maintenance. This increases their longevity and keeps up the result intact.

They do not require any special care other than regular brushing, flossing, and visits to the prosthodontist. Professional cleanings every 6 months and yearly exams are highly recommended. To lengthen the life of your veneers, invest in a mouthguard if you are prone to night-time tooth grinding or if you play contact sports.
