There : There is a chance they will last a very, very long time. But the reality is that on average dental restorations last 10 to 15 years. Most people understand that these types of restorations are very durable, but cannot be expected to last forever. Hope this info helps.

Your : Your teeth, in a natural state will stay healthier over time without any restorations. Is you don't like the position of the teeth, you should consider invisalign.

Not regular interval: Porcelain veneers may last for a long time or they may not. Variables include patient maintenance, the quality of the dental work, diet, habits, and mouthguard wear. There may be others. Perhaps someday they will replaced; but that would only be if a problem of some kind develops. They are not replaced at regular intervals.

No: If done properly and cared for properly, they last between 5-30 years.

See answer: If you take care of your veneers by brushing and flossing, and they are done well, you will get many many years from them.

Replaced eventually: Nothing last forever, even well made porcelain veneers. You can expect to get years of wonderful wear and smiles out of well made porcelain veneers, but if you are young, expect that they will need to be redone at least once or twice. Each time, the results should last longer and look better as technology improves!

Surgery vrs non-surg: All restorations are surgical treatment. Restorations require periodic maintenance. To do veneers teeth require little to moderate reshaping. The veneers, though durable, do have an effective life span. Best results when a Orthodontic Specialist does non-Surgical tooth-bone reconfiguration to create the best possible platform on which to do restorative treatment.
