Porcelain veneers are a popular option when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. These thin, tooth-colored shells can protect your teeth and improve the appearance of your smile. But how long do porcelain veneers last? And what do you need to know about caring for them? This post will answer all of your questions—and more!
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last up to 20 years.
Porcelain veneers are made from a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the front of your teeth. With proper care, they can last up to 20 years or more.
Because ceramic is more durable than natural tooth enamel, a porcelain veneer can withstand everyday wear and tear better than your natural teeth. That being said, it’s still important to take good care of them so they last as long as possible!
Care for your teeth as usual.
In addition to regular brushing and flossing, you should also visit your dentist regularly. Dentists will be able to keep an eye on the veneers and make sure that they are not wearing down too quickly. They may also be able to recommend ways for you to care for them better at home. A good dentist will know what kind of toothpaste or mouthwash is best for your new smile, as well as any additional steps that need taking in order to prevent damage or decay from occurring.
Avoid biting down on hard objects.
Some people have a tendency to bite down on hard objects, which can damage veneers. If you’re one of these people, avoid biting down on hard objects like ice cubes or hard candy. You should also avoid chewing bones or other things that are not food if you want your veneers to last for a long time.
