How Long Do Veneers Generally Last?
The procedure of placing veneers is often an irreversible process because a thin layer of tooth enamel is removed to fit the shell when it is placed; this lack of enamel would otherwise leave the teeth vulnerable to decay, wear and tear, and sensitivity to temperatures. The life of a set of veneers depends on the material, as well as oral hygiene and lifestyle factors. On average, porcelain veneers last around 25 years; composite veneers have longevity closer to seven to 10 years.
