Veneers are thin shells, usually porcelain, placed over the teeth to disguise imperfections like chips or stains. With veneers, you can get results going beyond those of at-home or in-office whitening treatments. When properly constructed and placed, veneers provide teeth with a natural, polished look. Following placement of veneers, our Beverly Hills porcelain veneers expert recommends proper care in order to keep your veneers looking like new.
To properly maintain your veneers, follow these easy steps:
• Treat your veneers like the rest of your teeth.
Brush and floss regularly as usual. Our expert may suggest you use non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste to keep your teeth and veneers strong and healthy.
• Attend your follow-up visit.
A week after you receive your veneers, you will need to visit our office for an evaluation. This is to assure our expert that your mouth and gums are reacting naturally to your new veneers. Be sure not to miss this appointment, as it is extremely important to your future dental health.
• Maintain your veneers.
Be mindful of habits like grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw, as these can damage your veneers. Porcelain veneers require polishing with a special paste, so regularly visiting our dentist for this treatment is recommended.
Post-placement care is crucial when it comes to ensuring you continue to see great results with your veneers for years to come.
