How long do veneers last?

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.

If you want a less invasive option, read bonding vs veneers or the veneers treatment page.
