Thinking about getting veneers? Here’s what you need to know!

So you’re thinking about getting veneers, but unsure about how long they’ll last. The short answer is that typically composite resin veneers last between 5 to 7 years and ceramic veneers between 10 and 15. How long your veneers last can be impacted by how well you maintain them. Daily brushing and flossing, six monthly cleans and checkups are all part of maintenance. Diet plays a major role in the longevity of your veneers. Curbing a sweet tooth will pay dividends in how long your veneers will last. The tooth underneath the veneers can actually still decay. Dietary stains from coffee as well as smoking can reduce the lifespan and the aesthetics of veneers drastically. Treat your veneers just like you would treat your normal teeth maybe even a little bit better if you want that bright smile lasting longer. If you’re opening bottles, biting your nails or ripping chip packets with your teeth or veneers stop it.
