Porcelain veneers can last 10 years. According to Peumans, M., et al (2000). In their paper titled “Porcelain veneers: a review of the literature. Journal of Dentistry”:
The longevity of veneers is affected by a variety of factors, including the quality of the material, the skill of the dentist, the patient’s oral hygiene, and whether the patient avoids harmful habits such as biting down on hard objects or grinding their teeth.
At Veneers Studio, we say that porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or even longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining their longevity. We recommend getting maintenance every 6 months of them.
Scientific relevance: Studies have shown that porcelain veneers have high success rates over the long term, with survival rates of around 94% at 10 years and 87% at 20 years. Factors influencing longevity include the strength of the adhesive bond (we use the best one in the market), the patient’s bite alignment (we recommend having straight teeth before getting veneers), and the thickness of the remaining enamel. Regular dental check-ups (about 2 times per year) and proper care are crucial in detecting early signs of wear or damage, allowing for timely intervention if needed.
