Dental veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance — addressing shape, shade and minor alignment. They're a popular choice for smile makeovers.
With good oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and sensible habits — avoiding using teeth as tools and limiting very hard foods — veneers can last many years. Their exact lifespan depends on material and individual care.
Your dentist will advise on maintenance and let you know if a veneer ever needs replacement. A night guard may be recommended if you grind your teeth.
