How long do porcelain veneers last? ▾ Porcelain veneers placed by Dr. Hamdan at Royal Oak Smiles typically last 10 to 20 years with proper care. Longevity depends on bite forces, nighttime grinding habits, and maintenance. Patients who grind their teeth are typically advised to wear a custom night guard to protect the veneers.
