Veneers are designed to be long-lasting and durable, but they still require some special care and maintenance to keep them looking and feeling their best. After all, just like your natural teeth, veneers can benefit from good oral hygiene and other healthy habits.

1. Brush and Floss Daily

Daily brushing and flossing are essential, just as they are for your natural teeth. Use a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste to avoid scratching the veneer’s surface. Regular checkups and cleanings with your dentist are also important so we can monitor your oral health and the condition of your veneers.

2. Don’t Bite Down on Hard Objects

Avoid biting on hard objects, such as ice or hard candy, that can chip or damage your veneers. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, we recommend wearing a nightguard to protect your smile from excessive force that can lead to breaks or chips.

3. Limit Staining Substances

Veneers are resistant to staining, but excessive consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco products can cause them to discolor over time. We recommend limiting these substances, drinking with a straw, or thoroughly rinsing your mouth with water afterward.

Porcelain veneers a thin tooth-shaped covers that go over teeth, creating the appearance of straight and healthy teeth.Since porcelain doesn’t stain as easily as enamel, the result is long-lasting, and with care and regular dental visits, veneers can last many years before needing to be replaced.

What Are Porcelain Veneers Good For?

Veneers are a good option for patients who want to create the appearance of straight and pearly white teeth. Patients who have damaged, discolored, or misshapen teeth can get a veneer that will create the appearance of a bright and healthy tooth shaped to the patient’s mouth so that it looks natural.

A veneer can be applied to a single tooth to improve its appearance or a line of visible teeth to create a whole new smile.

To set a veneer on a tooth, the dentist will have to remove a thin layer of enamel from the tooth. Because of this, veneers are permanent and require a commitment to care.
