How long will the white dwarf survive?

That depends what you mean with "survive". A white dwarf can be considered dead, it no longer produces energy. But it will continue emitting light for trillions of years; it has a lot of stored energy, and a small surface area to radiate it.That depends what you mean with "survive".

Who is denser white dwarf or a planet?

A white dwarf is denser than a planet. White dwarfs are stellar remnants that have collapsed under gravity, packing a large amount of mass into a small volume. Planets, on the other hand, have much lower densities compared to white dwarfs due to their composition and structure.
