Veneers that are properly cared for and maintained can last 10–15 years or longer. However, their lifespan depends on several factors, including brushing and flossing habits, lifestyle choices, and bite alignment.
At Southeast Family Dental, we use only the highest-quality materials designed for durability while maintaining a natural appearance throughout their lifespan.
3 Tips to Extend Veneers' Lifespan
- Practice Excellent Oral Hygiene — To help your veneers last as long as possible, brush at least twice daily and floss once to avoid developing cavities and gum disease.
- Wear a Nightguard or Mouthguard — If you have a teeth-grinding habit, ask our dentists about a custom nightguard to prevent damage to your veneers during sleep. Wear a custom mouthguard if you participate in sports.
- Avoid Chips or Breaks — While veneers are made to last, treat them with care—don’t use your teeth as tools, bite into extremely hard foods, or open packages with your teeth.
Attend Routine Checkups
During your regular dental checkups at Southeast Family Dental, we check the condition and fit of your veneers. This ongoing monitoring helps identify any potential issues early, ensuring your veneers continue to look beautiful and function properly for many years.
