When your teeth
are chipped or sporting stains that teeth
whitening procedures have failed to fix, veneers are often the
final option for turning things around. They are often touted as a
better option to restore teeth to their natural appearance; in some
cases, they can last up to 20 years if the maintenance was good
across the board. If you’ve had veneers put on, your dentist can
guide you on various ways to protect them.
Eating
Some sacrifices
have to be made after undergoing veneer installation. For instance,
you can’t take solid foods that could crack the veneers, especially
hard candy. Refrain from drinking anything that has stained your
teeth before, such as coffee or red wine, as well as alcoholic drinks
because they can compromise the adhesive resin. You should also stay
off snacks between meals and avoid carbs.
Daily cleaning
Continue your
regular oral hygiene routine as it was before you had veneers, but
tweak it on certain aspects. Use non-abrasive toothpaste that has
whitening capabilities and be sure to floss after every brushing.
Consult your dentist about using sonic toothbrushes; these devices
have soft vibrating bristles that clean the veneers and dirt around
the bonding.
Ceramic or
porcelain veneers are one solution to keeping your teeth’s natural
shape after all it’s been through. Between you and your dentist,
the power to take care of your teeth is definitely within reach.
