With proper care, veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, making them a long-term investment in your smile. These thin porcelain or composite resin shells are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, enhancing their appearance and strength. The longevity of veneers depends on several factors, including the quality of the material used, the skill of the dentist and how well you maintain your oral hygiene.
Porcelain veneers tend to last longer, often 15 to 20 years, because they are more durable and resistant to staining compared to composite resin veneers, which may need replacement after ten years. However, both types can give you a beautiful, natural-looking smile for years.
