Types of Veneers Offered at Prostho Endo + Expected Lifespan
If you take good care of your dental veneers, they can last 10 to 15 years and some of our patients in North Bethesda and Vienna have kept theirs even longer.
Composite veneers are a great option too especially if you are looking for something more affordable or less invasive. They’re made from a tooth-colored resin and typically last around 5 to 7 years.
Composites are easier to fix but can stain a more easily over time. If you are on a budget or just want something fast and quick, Composites might be a great fit for you. Either way we will help you figure out what makes the most sense for you.

How Long Veneers Last Around Here? What Is The Impact?
Another thing we see a lot are stress-related grinding especially in fast-paced careers like law, tech or government work. Grinding (A.K.A. bruxism) can seriously shorten your veneers’ lifespan. That is why we offer custom nightguards and check your bite to help keep your smile safe.
How to Keep Your Veneers Looking At Its Best
Maintaining good habits including brushing twice a day with a soft bristle toothbrush, flossing daily and using a gentle fluoride toothpaste are a must. Please make sure to not use anything that is too abrasive. And don’t skip those dental visits.
We recommend coming in every six months for cleanings and veneer-friendly polishing at our North Bethesda or Vienna offices.
Some whitening products sold locally can be too harsh on veneers, so we usually suggest avoiding those. Instead, we offer curated care kits with dentist-approved products that are safe and effective.
Plus, we check in on your veneers once a year to catch any wear early on before it turns into a bigger issue.
When to Replace or Fix Your Veneers
Not sure if something’s off? Come see us at our North Bethesda or Vienna location. We use high-tech scans and cameras to take a close look and let you know exactly what’s going on. If your veneers need attention, we’ll walk you through your options and put together a plan that works for you.
Veneer Maintenance: What We Offer at Prostho Endo
Our care doesn’t stop at checkups. We offer annual care plans that include everything from custom nightguards to replacement warranties for qualifying veneer systems. These plans are designed specifically for residents in the DMV area who want peace of mind knowing their investment in dental veneers is protected by experts who understand both the science and the art of long-term smile restoration.
Veneers are definitely one of the top choices for upgrading your smile but how do they stack up against other options like bonding, crowns or professional whitening?
If you are in the North Bethesda or Vienna area and want something that’s fast, long lasting, and does not involve a lot of drilling, veneers are often the way to go. Unlike crowns, which require a big chunk of your tooth to be filed down, veneers let us keep most of your natural tooth intact.
Bonding is another alternative, but it tends to be less durable. Usually lasting just 3 to 5 years and it can chip more easily. Whitening treatments are great for brightening up your smile but they don’t fix issues like shape, size or alignment the way veneers can.
At Prostho Endo, we will talk through all your options together with no pressure and no rush. Whether you are just looking to make a small change or ready for a full smile makeover, we will help you find what feels right for your goals, your health and your lifestyle.
