While Porcelain Dental Veneers are a permanent solution, the porcelain may wear out over the years and eventually need to be replaced. Veneers are very durable, but how long they last before needing to be replaced can depend on several variables. Typically, you can expect your veneers to last somewhere between 7 to 12 years before needing to be replaced. To make sure that your veneers last as long as possible, make sure to do the following: Maintain good oral hygiene. Poor oral hygiene habits can damage not only your teeth but your veneers as well. Taking good care of your teeth and oral health is one of the best ways to protect your veneers. Make sure to brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. Attend regular dental exams and cleanings. Regular dental exams and cleanings are important for taking care of your teeth and veneers. During your exam, our dentist will check your veneers to ensure that they are healthy and that there isn’t any damage that needs to be addressed. Protect your veneers from grinding. Continuous veneer grinding will greatly damage them over time. If you find yourself frequently clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth, schedule an appointment with us to see what can be done to protect your veneers as well as your teeth.
