How Long Do Veneers Last? Can Veneers Last Your Whole Life?
January 30, 2023
“How Long Do Veneers Last? Can Veneers Last Your Whole Life?” covers one of the most common topics patients bring to a cosmetic consultation. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells — typically porcelain — bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, color, or alignment.
Because porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and durable, many patients see many years of use from a well-placed veneer with reasonable care, though results vary based on bite pressure, habits like grinding, and daily oral hygiene.
Veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic option, since a thin layer of enamel is typically removed to make room for the shell, so they’re best discussed thoroughly with your dentist before moving forward.
If this sounds like your situation, the best next step is a conversation with your dentist. Saifee Family Dentistry offers porcelain veneers in Spring, TX — call (281) 502-2642 or request a visit online.
