Veneers—Spice and Everything Nice

Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice to spice up your smile and your life. Your sexy new smile will be stunning for as many as 20 years when you maintain a daily oral care routine.

Veneers need only a slight modification to the good care you already give your natural teeth.

Toothpaste: Veneers are strong and durable, but your regular toothpaste can scratch a veneer's surface. We can recommend gentle toothpastes for you to use.

Mouthrinse: Carefully read the label before you buy. Get mouthrinse that does not contain alcohol. Alcohol dissolves the cementing agent that affixes the veneers to your teeth. Within a very short time, your investment could be severely damaged.

Diet: Frequent snacking targets your natural teeth for tooth decay because bacteria will hide at the edges of veneers. As with mouthrinse, avoid heavy alcohol consumption. Don't bite or chew food that could twist the veneer.

Otherwise, use the same homecare you typically do.

Brush and floss every day. Brush more carefully around the veneers so that you thoroughly clean around their edges.

Don't bite your pencil, staples or chew ice cubes. Any hard object like hard candy or macadamia nuts can damage your veneers as well as your natural teeth.

Have regular dental checkups. The best way to keep a hot sexy smile for a lifetime is to let us examine your oral tissues at least twice each year, or more often if you have a dental issue or concern.
