Lea ... i have porcelain veneers on my top 4 teeth and have had them now for 14years, so yeh they can last longer if you look after them, for example i wouldn't bite into an apple with my front teeth but more my front side teeth IYKWIM

I had nothing major with my teeth it was just that i wanted my teeth to look more close set in and at the time i was doing big girl as they called it that days (size 14-16) modelling ... so i wanted it there also as an investment work wise.

My last dental checkup was only a few months ago and my new dentist couldn't get over how great they still look.

Only thing is now after all these years my teeth to the side of the veneers are a slightly different shade which can be fixed with teeth whitening (which i have yet to do, as it's expensive to whitenen teeth at the dentist she recommended i just buy a whitening kit from the chemist and just dab the side front teeth myself).

I was having 6mths checkup every 6mths (my choice) in the early years but my dentist suggested i didn't need to so therefore started having a yearly checkup.

Porcelain veneers are only meant to last about 10years so if they last longer it's a BONUS !!!

Back when i had my four front teeth down it cost me $1600 all up ($400 per tooth) but that was 14years ago. Also i remember my dentist back then had a financial plan were you could pay 4 instalments (no interest charged).

I would most certainly go for and invest$$ in the porcelain veneers
