Porcelain veneers are able to accomplish many of the same benefits of dental bonding, but with the added benefit of being incredibly long-lasting thanks to porcelain’s strength and stain resistance. In fact, dental porcelain is incredibly similar to natural tooth enamel, which is the second-strongest substance on earth. (Did you know that diamonds are the first?)
This stands in stark contrast to the composite resin used for both bonding and many dental fillings. While the resin is strong, it is not as stain-resistant as porcelain, which means patients that consume large amounts of staining foods and drinks, and especially those that use tobacco products, may be unhappy with the results long-term.
In fact, many patients are able to enjoy their veneers for more than ten years, so long as they maintain excellent dental hygiene and regular preventive care.
