Porcelain veneers are a durable, long-lasting cosmetic solution for improving the appearance of your smile. With proper care, ceramic veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer before they need to be replaced. Their lifespan depends on your oral hygiene habits, lifestyle, and how well you care for your teeth.
How to Help Your Veneers Last
Although porcelain is strong and stain-resistant, it's still important to care for your veneers just as you would your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and schedule regular dental exams and cleanings at Riverfront Dental so Dr. Howe can monitor your veneers and overall oral health.
Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails, as these habits can chip or damage your veneers. If you grind or clench your teeth while you sleep, Dr. Howe may recommend a custom nightguard, created by our SprintRay 3-D printer, to help protect both your veneers and your natural teeth.
