Porcelain veneer have grown in popularity, as their use has increased by more than 200% in the past ten years. As a Ventura City Cosmetic Dentist, many people come through the doors asking for this procedure. At Anacapa Dental Art Institute, we are dedicated to helping our community.
If teeth are worn down, discolored, or broken, veneers will help. They offer natural tooth appearance while preserving your teeth’s structure. Porcelain Veneer have a long life expectancy. With that being said, you still need to make sure to take care of them. As part of our service to you, we have made a list of actions to take to make sure your veneers last a long time.

#1. Employ A Regular Brushing And Flossing Routine

The application of porcelain veneers is one of the most forgiving dental procedures on the market. You will not need to make any massive adjustments to your dental routine, but you will have to make sure to brush your teeth and floss them at least twice a day.

Do not be afraid to brush and floss your veneers. They can handle the pressure. That being said, it is wise to acquire a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste to ensure that your veneers do not wear down. Regularly brushing and flossing not only protects your porcelains, it helps your natural teeth. Guaranteeing to brush and floss frequently is vital.

#2. Do Not Chew On Anything Too Hard

Veneers are extremely durable. Despite that, they are not as strong as your natural teeth. All of the hard foodstuffs that harm your natural teeth will harm your veneers. Do not bite your fingernails or chew on pens when you are nervous. We understand that some people do that when they are anxious or uncomfortable, but it is harmful to your teeth.

In addition, pretzels, hard candy apples, and nuts are bad for your veneers. If you have to eat hard food, we recommend chewing with your back teeth. You can also break up candy bars or cut apples into pieces before you eat them, to ensure that your veneers do not chip.

#3. See Your Cosmetic Dentist Regularly

After you have had your veneers put in place, your dentist will ask you to come back. It is important to make sure that the veneers were put in place correctly. Bruxism, or grinding one’s teeth, harm your veneers as well as your teeth. Visiting your Oxnard Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Jivraj is a good way to see if you are affected by this and the dentist can spot any other problems which arise.

Foods and drinks that stain your teeth also stain your veneers. Your Ventura Cosmetic Dentist will be able to tell you if your teeth are becoming discolored. Some people’s gums react negatively to the addition of porcelain veneer, although this is rare. Your dentist will be able to recognize the problem and fix it, in the unlikely cases that it arises.
