The longevity of dental veneers depends on the type of material used and how well they are taken care of. Porcelain veneers typically last 10+ years with proper care, while composite resin ones usually last 3-5 years before needing to be replaced or touched up. To ensure your investment lasts as long as possible, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice daily and flossing regularly. Also, avoid using your teeth as tools – do not bite down on hard items like pens or pencils – and see your dentist at least twice yearly for checkups and cleanings.
