With veneers<\/a>, you can completely transform your smile with just one treatment. But before you commit to getting them, you need to understand how long you can expect them to last. Like any type of dental restoration, veneers have finite lifespans and will eventually need to be replaced. But when exactly will that be? And is there anything you can do to help your cosmetic dental work last longer? Here\u2019s what you need to know when it comes to the longevity of veneers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Exactly are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin sheaths that are made to be attached to the fronts of your teeth. They can potentially be made out of composite resin or porcelain, and they can be carefully shaded to blend in with the rest of your smile. By covering your teeth with veneers, your dentist can correct multiple aesthetic imperfections at once (such as stubborn stains or minor dental damage) in a way that looks natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Do Veneers Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The longevity of veneers is influenced by the material that they\u2019re made of. Composite veneers often last for about 4 to 8 years. In comparison, porcelain veneers tend to be more durable; they have average lifespans of about 10 to 15 years, but they can potentially last even longer than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that being said, the biggest factor that determines how long veneers last is the care they receive. If you\u2019re proactive about maintaining your veneers and protecting them from damage, you can expect them to last for a long time before you eventually need to get new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
