Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed over the front of teeth to improve their appearance. They’re ideal for correcting chips, cracks, discoloration, gaps, or minor misalignments. One of the biggest benefits is their natural look, as veneers mimic the light-reflecting qualities of real enamel. They’re also stain-resistant and durable, giving you a bright, confident smile that does not require any extra maintenance or upkeep for many years.
How long do porcelain veneers really last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more. Their lifespan depends on your oral hygiene, daily habits, and regular dental visits. Avoiding habits like nail-biting, teeth grinding, or using your teeth as tools helps extend their durability. Over time, veneers may need to be replaced due to natural wear, but many patients enjoy their beautiful results for well over a decade when cared for properly.
What happens to teeth under veneers?
Before placing veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed to ensure a natural fit. This process doesn’t damage your teeth but makes the treatment permanent since enamel doesn’t grow back. The teeth under veneers remain healthy as long as you maintain good oral hygiene. Decay can still occur if plaque builds up, so brushing, flossing, and routine checkups are essential. With proper care, your natural teeth stay strong and protected under the veneers.
How do you take care of veneers?
Caring for veneers is much like caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss regularly, and keep up with routine dental cleanings. Avoid biting into hard objects like ice or opening packages with your teeth, as this can chip the veneers. Limiting stain-causing foods and drinks, like coffee or red wine, also helps keep your smile bright. With consistent care, your veneers will stay beautiful and functional for many years!
