Co wpływa na trwałość licówek

What can affect the lifespan of veneers?

With dental veneers, several factors can affect the lifespan of the type of veneer you choose. Let’s take a closer look at what can affect longevity.

The state of your teeth prior to installation. According to some dentists, the state of your teeth prior to getting a veneer may affect the lifespan.
Veneer materials. Porcelain and no-prep veneers last longer than composite veneers. However, these options are more expensive, so you’ll have to weigh the cost against the expected lifespan.
Your dental hygiene. Good oral hygiene really matters. Twice-daily brushing and daily flossing are crucial to prolonging the lifespan of veneers. It’s also important to have dental checkups and cleanings every 6 months.
Mouth protection. If you play a contact sport, be sure to wear a mouthguard to protect your veneers from chipping or breaking.
Tooth grinding. Grinding your teeth can put excessive pressure on your veneers. If you’re prone to grinding your teeth when you sleep, wear a nighttime mouthguard to protect your veneers.
Using your teeth as tools. Don’t use your teeth to try and open objects that you can’t open with your hands or other tools.
Care with hard foods. Avoid biting down on foods like hard candies, ice, or nuts.

Depending on the type of veneer you choose and other lifestyle factors, the lifespan of a veneer typically lasts anywhere from 5 to 10 years.

When choosing what kind of dental veneer is right for you, you’ll need to weigh several factors, including the short- and long-term cost, the expected lifespan of the veneers, and the appearance you’re hoping to achieve.
