Veneers are a long lasting solution to improve the look of your entire smile. With proper care, veneer teeth can last for 7-10 years or more. However, the way you treat them will play a huge role in how long they last.
How should you care for veneers?
Here are some simple tips to help you dental veneers last as long as possible.
Biting on your nails or using your teeth to open packing can damage your natural teeth, as well as your veneers. While they are durable and can withstand chewing force, they are not indestructible. Only use your veneer teeth to bite and chew on food to help prevent unnecessary damage or wear.
Regular brushing and flossing is still critical when you have veneers. Brush at least twice a day and floss daily to keep plaque off of them and your gum line. Keeping your smile clean will keep veneers in good condition and free of any concerns.
Do you play high impact or contact sports? Have you struggled with grinding your teeth at night (bruxism)? If so, then you should certainly wear a mouthguard. Wearing a custom dental mouthguard is one of the easiest ways to keep your real teeth- and veneers- safe. Protect your investment with a simple mouthguard.
Regular dental checkups are still important for your smile. The dentist will clean and monitor your veneers, ensuring they are functioning properly. With regular checkups, the dental team can catch and repair any minor concerns before they cause major problems.
