Just because your teeth have been restored with veneers doesn’t mean they’re immune to dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease. As a rule of thumb, the healthier and cleaner you keep your underlying teeth, the longer your veneers will last. Here are a few tips to keep in mind to help maximize the lifespan of your veneers:
Gently brush your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste two or three times a day.
Floss at least once daily.
Visit us for checkups and cleanings every six months to check on the status of your veneers and catch any potential problems as soon as possible.
If you grind your teeth while you sleep, wear a nightguard to prevent dental damage.
To keep your veneers free of cracks and chips, don’t chew on pens, ice, or hard candy.
