I have had porcelain veneer on my two upper front teeth for close to 10 years, and just this past August, one of my veneers popped off for the first time. I got the same veneer bonded back on right after that (by a different dentist than the one who originally put them on), but it popped off again in October, and then again in November, and again in December.
