How long do veneers last?
Quick answer
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With careful planning and good hygiene, porcelain veneers at York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Grinding, biting hard objects and gum disease shorten that. Fees start from £850 per tooth. Veneers cannot be whitened later, so shade is chosen before they are made.
What you need to know
Lifespan is a maintenance story: bite, night guard if you clench, hygiene, and not using veneers to open packets. A chipped veneer can sometimes be repaired or replaced without redoing the whole smile.
One veneer is possible — useful for a single dark or misshapen front tooth. The ceramic is colour-matched to the neighbours, which is why we may suggest whitening the natural teeth first.
