Porcelain veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic solution, but they aren’t considered permanent in the sense that they last forever. With good oral hygiene and routine dental visits, veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years, sometimes even longer. Their durability depends on factors like your bite, lifestyle habits, and how well you care for your teeth. Avoiding things like nail-biting, chewing ice, or using your teeth as tools can help extend the life of your veneers.

During the veneer process, we remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to create space for the veneer and ensure a seamless fit. Because of this, the procedure is irreversible—once you get veneers, you’ll always need some type of restoration on those teeth going forward.

That said, most patients feel the long-term benefits are absolutely worth it. Veneers offer a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile, and they require very little maintenance beyond daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings.
