Frequently Asked Questions

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment known for their natural appearance and durability. With proper care, they can provide long-lasting results that enhance your smile for many years. However, like all dental work, their longevity depends on several factors.

Lifespan of Porcelain Veneers

On average, porcelain veneers last between 10 to 15 years. Some patients may even enjoy them longer if they follow proper maintenance routines. Factors such as oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and whether you grind your teeth can all impact the lifespan of your veneers.

How to Maximize the Lifespan of Your Veneers

Practice good oral hygiene. — Make sure to brush and floss your teeth every day, giving extra attention to the area around your veneers to prevent decay or gum disease.
Avoid hard or sticky foods. — Avoid biting down on hard objects or sticky foods that can cause veneers to chip or become dislodged.
Wear a nightguard. — Wearing a custom nightguard can protect your veneers from excessive wear, so if you grind your teeth, talk to your dentist about it.
Visit your dentist regularly. — Regular check-ups and cleanings help monitor the condition of your veneers and ensure they remain in top shape.

The Veneers Process: What to Expect

Here’s what you can expect when you choose porcelain veneers as part of a cosmetic treatment plan:

Evaluation — First, we will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they’re healthy enough for veneers. We’ll discuss the procedure with you and help you choose the appropriate shade for your new smile.
Tooth preparation — Next, we’ll remove a small amount of tooth enamel from your teeth, making room for the width of the veneers. Because we remove tooth enamel, veneers are considered a permanent treatment.
Impressions — Then, we’ll take precise impressions to send to the dental lab. The lab will create your custom veneers from these impressions.
Fitting and bonding — Once your veneers are ready, we’ll check the fit and color before using dental cement to bond them in place.
Checking your bite — The last step involves checking your bite to ensure it feels and looks completely natural.
