Generally, porcelain veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, while composite resin veneers may last up to 10 years. With proper care, including regular brushing and flossing, avoiding biting down on hard objects, and visiting your dentist regularly, your veneers can last for many years. It is important to note that veneers are not indestructible and may need to be replaced over time due to wear and tear, chips, or other damage.
You should avoid biting or chewing on hard objects such as ice, boiled sweets, or pens. This can damage your veneers and weaken the bonding material used to attach them.
Your dentist will numb the area around the tooth with a local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. There may be some minor discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, but this typically goes away within a few days.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, veneers could be an effective solution, During your consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss your goals for treatment.
