How long do dental veneers last?
What are veneers?
To help protect your veneers, brush your teeth with a gel toothpaste with no whitening ingredients, at least twice a day. In addition to flossing, also use an antiseptic mouthwash to kill harmful bacteria. Remember to also reduce consumption of sugary and acidic substances and to avoid smoking.
A veneer is a thin shell that is bonded to the outside of your tooth, to improve colour, shape and alignment. Veneers can be used to treat many cosmetic dental problems, including spaces between teeth, crooked teeth, broken, chipped or worn teeth or permanently discoloured or stained teeth.
Veneers offer durable and aesthetic teeth enhancement, lasting 10 to 25 years on average.
Proper dental hygiene is crucial to avoid erosion, decay, and premature wear.
Regular maintenance can preserve the appearance of veneers indefinitely.
Grinding and clenching can shorten the lifespan of veneers.
Gums receding may necessitate replacement procedures over time.
Individual circumstances play a role in the longevity of veneers.
