Caring For Your Porcelain Veneers

Studio City, Burbank, North Hollywood

As with any cosmetic dentistry smile improvement, maintaining a healthy smile includes a combination of great home care and regular dental visits. With simple care efforts, you can keep your porcelain veneers in great shape for years to come. At Smiles By Sands, we make sure our patients understand the importance of preventative care and cleaning.

Here are some suggestions for keeping your porcelain veneers looking their best:

• Brush and floss your veneered teeth two to three times a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste.
• Floss after snacks and meals as often as possible to prevent decay.
• Tell your dentist if you experience any pain, soreness, looseness, or redness.
• While initial sensitivity to hot and cold is normal, tell your dentist if it persists.
• Avoid using your veneers to chew food, candy or inanimate objects that might damage natural enamel or veneers.
• Try to avoid grinding your teeth or prolonged jaw clenching. If the problem is chronic, the dentist can provide you with a custom mouthguard.
• Return to the dentist on time for any follow-up visits, as well as semi-annual checkups
• Don’t be afraid to ask questions! The cosmetic dentistry team at Smiles By Sands is here to help make your new smile a success.
• Follow your dentist’s instructions carefully to ensure longevity and optimal appearance.
• Consider additional smile treatments if your smile appearance is still not meeting your smile goals. Treatments like tooth whitening, replacing metal fillings, Invisalign braces for straightening, dental implants to fill in gaps, and dental bonding can help take your smile to that next level.

Porcelain veneers may be the cosmetic dentistry procedure that reinvents your smile. If you are wondering how to fix those things that are not quite right about your smile, talk to our cosmetic smile makeover team. In learning about the veneer procedure, you can view porcelain veneers before and after photos to see other patients’ results. We’ll also have our financial coordinator go over our affordable porcelain veneers financing options with you so you can see how easy it is to fit treatment into your monthly budget.
