So long as you look after your teeth well, your veneers should last around 10 years. Sometimes they can last much longer. Be careful not to put too much pressure on your veneers by doing things like opening bottles with your teeth. Veneers are strong but they are not unbreakable. Keep your veneers looking great for longer by keeping a good oral healthcare routine.
