How long do they last?
Well-fitted, well-maintained ceramic veneers last 10 to 15 years, often more. Ceramic doesn't stain and keeps its shine over time, unlike composite which can yellow.
Daily care
Brushing twice a day, flossing, and regular check-ups: exactly what you'd do for your natural teeth. No special product is needed; a soft brush and a non-abrasive toothpaste are enough.
Habits to avoid
Avoid biting very hard objects (ice, pens, opening bottles) that could chip the ceramic. If you grind at night (bruxism), a night guard protects your veneers from wear.
What if a veneer comes off?
It's rare but possible after an impact. The veneer is then re-bonded or remade. That's why a written 5-year guarantee comes with every fitting — keep your veneer references safe.
Veneers last over ten years with normal hygiene and a bit of common sense. Avoid impacts, protect them at night if you clench, and smile.
