How Long Do Composite Veneers Last?

Composite veneers are one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to refresh your smile and fix minor chips or discoloration. But how long do they actually last before needing a touch-up?

While they typically last between 5 to 7 years, the answer depends entirely on how you care for them. Here is what you need to know to maximize your investment:

• Maintenance - Like natural teeth, they require twice-daily brushing and flossing.
• To extend the life of your veneers, we recommend avoiding "nightmare foods" (like ice or hard candy) and wearing a night guard if you tend to grind your teeth.
• Regular professional cleans at Whitehouse Dental Services will also keep them looking bright.
• Repairs - One of the biggest advantages of composite is that small chips can be easily repaired in a single visit.
