How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

Porcelain veneers are a durable option for transforming a smile, but their longevity isn’t fixed—it depends on multiple factors. On average, you can expect a lifespan of 7 to 10 years, though many last much longer with excellent care.

Factors that influence the lifespan of dental bonding on teeth

What Influences Their Lifespan

Several conditions can shorten or extend how long veneers last:

Your oral habits, such as teeth grinding or biting hard objects
Your diet (acidic or staining foods)
The alignment and bite forces on the veneered teeth
Any accidental damage, like impacts or trauma
The initial quality of placement and how well the veneers were fitted

Because these variables differ so much from person to person, while 7–10 years is a good general guideline, some veneers may wear out earlier, and others may continue looking great well beyond that.
