Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front surface of your teeth, concealing imperfections like chips, cracks, discoloration, or gaps. With proper care, veneers can last for a decade or even longer.<\/p>\n
Brush twice a day for two minutes using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Floss at least once a day to remove plaque from between teeth and the gum line, helping prevent gum disease that can compromise the underlying tooth.<\/p>\n
Avoid using your teeth as tools. Biting down on hard objects like ice, nuts, or candy can chip, crack, or dislodge veneers. Chop crunchy snacks into smaller pieces before consuming.<\/p>\n
Dark berries, coffee, tea, and red wine can affect veneer color. Rinse your mouth with water after consuming these. Smoking and tobacco use can also stain veneers and contribute to gum disease.<\/p>\n
Schedule checkups and cleanings every six months. Your dentist will examine veneers for signs of wear, chipping, or staining. If you grind your teeth at night, a custom-made nightguard will protect both your teeth and veneers from wear and tear.<\/p>\n
For chipping or cracking, contact your dentist immediately. For a loose veneer, never try to reattach it yourself. For gum recession, maintain excellent oral hygiene and schedule regular cleanings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
