Becoming increasingly popular because of the online presence many individuals maintain today, these ultra-thin coverings can make anyone\u2019s teeth appear completely natural. But what is their average lifespan? Find out how long you can expect your vibrant new smile to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Normal Lifespan of Dental Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How long you can expect your veneers to last is largely dependent on how well you take care of them. It\u2019s not uncommon for these restorations to remain in place for 10-15 years; however, they can last as long as 20 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Necessary to Prolong Their Longevity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep your veneers looking, feeling, and functioning at an optimal level, you\u2019ll need to adhere to the instructions your dentist provides after treatment. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoiding hard, crunchy foods that could chip, crack, or break your veneers (i.e., hard candy, nuts, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practicing good oral hygiene at home by brushing twice a day for two minutes, flossing at least once, and using nonabrasive toothpaste to prevent scratching the material<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintaining six-month dental checkups and cleanings with your cosmetic dentist so they can evaluate the state of your veneers and determine if any damage exists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giving up smoking and the use of any tobacco products (i.e., cigarettes, cigars, vape pens, chewing tobacco, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoiding unhealthy habits, like eating ice, chewing on pens and pencils when you\u2019re stressed, and biting your fingernails, as these can cause your veneers to become damaged<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if You Grind Your Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be concerned if you grind your teeth at night while wearing veneers. It\u2019s a valid concern; one you should plan to talk to your dentist about when considering veneers to improve your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you can receive a customized nightguard that you can wear at night while you sleep. This protective barrier will not only prevent your teeth from touching and grinding against each other but also prolong the lifespan of your veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers remain a durable and worthwhile option if you want a semi-permanent way to enhance your appearance. Although they do require replacement over time, you can expect to enjoy your results for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<br><\/strong>Dr. Aaron Swingdorf is a dentist in Chaska who has been with our dental office since 2014.
