Dental veneers, thin shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile. The lifespan of veneers on the front teeth varies, with porcelain veneers typically lasting between 10 to 20+ years with proper care, while composite veneers may last around 5 to 7 years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential for prolonging their life. It's also advisable to avoid habits that could damage the veneers, such as biting on hard objects or teeth grinding.
Hello,
I hope you are doing well!
Great question.
There are a couple factors that will determine the longevity of your veneers:
1. How frequently you go to your dentist for hygiene check ups and cleanings. 2. How is your home care - If you are not properly brushing or flossing at home cavities can cause the seal of the veneer to your tooth to weaken. Gum inflammation can also cause the seal of the veneer to tooth to weaken. If the seal weakens then the veneers need to be replaced so that cavities are removed and to prevent sensitivity.
3. Dentist protocol for cementing the veneers to your teeth - normally not a big factor that will deter the longevity of the veneers.
All in all! As along as you take care of your investment they will last a long time anywhere from 5-20+ years! In the end the longevity if up to you :)
I hope that helps!

Veneers typically last about 10 years with proper care. Factors like material, oral hygiene, and habits affect their longevity.
It depends on your teeth, the way they were made, and the way you are using them. In average, they last between 10 to 15 years.
