While veneers are designed to be long-lasting, proper care and maintenance are essential. Porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years, while composite resin veneers can last up to 8 years. However, it’s important to note that composite resin veneers may require more frequent replacement due to their tendency to chip or stain over time. In order to prevent damage to your veneers, avoid habits such as biting your nails or chewing on hard objects. If your veneer chips, it’s crucial to contact your dentist as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. You can try to save any broken pieces in case your dentist can repair them. Avoid further damage while eating and continue to maintain good oral hygiene as usual to prevent complications while waiting for your dental appointment.
