Porcelain veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years when maintained with proper care. They are designed to be a long-lasting and durable cosmetic solution, offering significantly more longevity than options like dental bonding, which generally requires refinishing every 3 to 5 years.
To ensure your veneers last as long as possible, we recommend the following:
- Diligent home care: Maintaining a consistent brushing and flossing routine is essential for the health of the underlying teeth and gums.
- Routine checkups: Visiting us for regular dental exams allows us to monitor the condition of your veneers and overall oral health.
- Professional guidance: Following durability guidelines, such as those provided by the FDI World Dental Federation, helps protect your investment.
We care about your smile and are dedicated to providing education-focused care to help you maintain your results. If you are ready to explore how porcelain veneers can transform your appearance, we invite you to Book Appointment at our upgraded New Westminster clinic, where we provide a judgement free space for all our patients across the Lower Mainland.
