How long do veneer teeth last?
The material of veneers impacts their lifespan. Porcelain veneers have excellent durability. The porcelain veneer lifespan is an average of 10 years, but they can easily last up to 20 years with proper maintenance.
You can damage your veneers from clenching or grinding your teeth. If you continuously put this type of pressure on your veneers nightly, daily, or both, they can become loose and fall off. Your veneers can also fall off from regularly eating hard candy or ice (which you shouldn't chew) or sticky candy.
In general, you will have to replace your veneers roughly every 15 to 20 years. However, you may need to replace cheap or low-quality veneers sooner than veneers installed at an experienced dental practice.
Porcelain veneers don't harm your teeth in any way as long as you see a qualified cosmetic dentist like ours at Burkburnett Family Dental. The first step to providing our patients with veneers includes taking x-rays to make sure your teeth are healthy and free of tooth decay.
How Old Should You Be to Get Veneers? Fortunately, no age restrictions exist for those who desire to use dental veneers. On the other hand, most dentists recommend that patients wait until 18 years for men and 16 years for women.
The most common types of veneers are porcelain veneers, composite veneers, and instant veneers. Porcelain veneers are considered the gold standard, as they last the longest and look the most realistic.
Three of the best options other than veneers are: Crowns. Dental bonding. In-office teeth whitening.
- Veneers are permanent.
- They can make teeth a bit more sensitive to heat and cold.
- While porcelain veneers are less susceptible to staining, composite veneers may stain.
- Veneers aren't a solution for failing teeth. Talk with your dentist about other options such as crowns.
Keep in mind that veneers are permanent and require preparation (light shaving) of your natural teeth. Once you receive them, you can't go back to your natural teeth.
The dental veneers will chip or crack or get worn down. Composite or porcelain veneers can be durable, but they can start to wear down and may even crack over time. Your tooth supporting the veneer can become decayed. The veneer can be intact and strong even if the underlying tooth is not.
Why did my veneer fall off?
Dental veneers can slide right on off if the dentist misapplies them. Physical contact with the teeth and the aging process can also cause porcelain veneers to fall off. If your porcelain veneers fall off several times, the dentist is likely doing something wrong.
Teeth don't stay white forever. But guess what? Porcelain veneers do ā or just about, anyway. Dental porcelain is highly stain-resistant, meaning that your veneers will maintain the same beautiful, bright white shade for years after their application.

In short, porcelain veneers themselves cannot get cavities. However, the teeth they adhere to are still subject to decay, which is why it is of the utmost importance that you maintain a solid oral hygiene routine following your procedure.
There are undesired side effects that may occur if you don't replace them, and they are: The dental veneers will chip or crack or get worn down. Composite or porcelain veneers can be durable, but they can start to wear down and may even crack over time. Your tooth supporting the veneer can become decayed.
