Porcelain veneers are quite popular and give the ability to achieve a beautiful “Hollywood” smile. If you are unhappy with your smile porcelain veneers can be an ideal solution. Porcelain veneers are durable and with proper care long-lasting. They can be a great investment in your smile and future.
The Versatility Of Porcelain Veneers
With a single cosmetic dentistry treatment, you can address many esthetic issues with your smile. This can include:
- Chipping and cracking
- Misaligned teeth
- Spacing Between Teeth
- Discoloration or Staining
- Uneven Smile
Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic treatment designed as front facings for front teeth. If you have issues with your back teeth, a dental crown will be a better option due to forces exerted in that area of the mouth.
Porcelain Veneers Equals Easy Maintenance
Caring for porcelain veneers is just like caring for your own natural teeth. This should include a daily regimen of brushing, flossing, and use of an ADA approved mouthrinse. With proper care your new smile will last for many years.
Good dental hygiene habits include:
- Brushing and flossing daily
- Follow a regular professional dental schedule for examinations and professional cleanings
- Avoid bad habits. This includes biting on pens, chewing ice, or using your teeth to open things
- Avoid sticky, hard, and chewy foods
Porcelain Veneers Are Long-Lasting
If your dentist is experienced in porcelain veneer placement, you are a good candidate, and you know how to take care of your teeth, you will not need to worry about having to replace your veneers for years to come.
The main reasons a veneer may need to be replaced include:
-tooth decay
-oral trauma
Tooth decay will weaken the underlying structure causing your porcelain veneer to lose its bonding capability.
Accidents can happen at anytime. If you suspect that your dental veneers were damaged via trauma, please contact your cosmetic dentist immediately to have them evaluated further.
