Which Last Longer Veneers or Lumineers?

Thinking of getting veneers – want to know which type of veneer is the longest lasting? Explore the differences between Lumineers and standard veneers.

Longest lasting dental veneers

Lumineers are very similar to dental veneers because they conceal many dental problems like crooked and uneven teeth. That said, Lumineers are superior to typical veneers because they are thinner and more natural-looking. Plus, you get to keep your enamel while enjoying the regular benefits of dental veneers.

Veneers Vs Lumineers

Veneers and Lumineers are very similar, sharing the same functionalities and benefits. The only difference is with their application process and long-term effects.

In some cases, patients are nervous about getting veneers to fit them; the original tooth needs to be shaved down and the enamel removed, which leaves your tooth vulnerable if the veneer is not there to protect it.

Lumineers, however, require no removal and fit onto your original tooth without shaving it down.

Do Veneers Last Longer Than Lumineers?

Lumineers are actually expected to last just as long as traditional veneers –  usually between 10-15 years with the right care. That said, as Lumineers are thinner, they are more susceptible to chipping.
