We’d love to but veneers don’t last forever

Dental veneers are a really good solution for teeth imperfections as gaps, cracks or small teeth.

Thay have a resistance very similar to natural teeth.

As our normal teeth naturally change their color over time, veneers do too.

Depending of the material, veneers have a life span.

  • Composite veneers, with the proper care, can last from 5 to 8 years.
  • Porcelain veneers are more durable, if you take care of your smile in a good way, you can have that perfect shape from 10 to 15 years.

However regular professional cleanings are necessary because materials is very delicate.
