How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
“Porcelain veneers typically last between 10 and 15 years with proper care. Their longevity depends on factors such as the quality of the porcelain, the expertise used during placement, and your daily oral hygiene habits. Consistent brushing and flossing, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding or biting hard objects can help extend their lifespan. In some cases, with exceptional care, veneers may last even longer than 15 years.” – Dr. Graham T. Egger, Dental experience: 20+ years.
