After your Veneers are fixed on your teeth, your dentist will perform a final finishing and polishing. The veneers have been fabricated to resemble natural teeth and give you an aesthetic smile. When performed by an experienced cosmetic dentist, Dental Veneers can last more than 20 years.
However, you must follow a few instructions to take care of your veneers to prolong their life. These include:
- Brushing and flossing properly every day
- Routine dental checkups by your dentist
- Avoid biting on objects like pens or fingernails
- Do not chew on hard foods like ice
- Rinse your mouth immediately after eating coloured foods or drinks as they can stain your veneers
Remember, chipped or broken veneers cannot be repaired. If you feel something is amiss with the veneers, visit your dentist immediately.
