The longevity of cosmetic dentistry varies by procedure, but professional treatments can last several months to decades with proper care. Most cosmetic dental work requires maintenance and may eventually need replacement.
Durability of Cosmetic Dental Treatments
Different cosmetic treatments have varying lifespans:
- Teeth Whitening — Results typically last 6 months to 3 years, depending on your habits and maintenance
- Dental Bonding — Generally lasts 5–8 years before needing touch-ups
- Porcelain Veneers — Can last 10–15 years or longer with excellent care
- Dental Crowns — Often last 10–15 years or longer when properly maintained
- Composite Fillings — Usually last 5–10 years before needing replacement
