Avoiding needless porcelain
veneer remakes
Failed porcelain veneers are unavoidable because there is no technology
that allows for porcelain veneers to last beyond 10 to 15 years. The cosmetic
dentist is responsible for creating the highest quality veneers and the patient
is largely responsible for maximizing the life-span of their dental veneers. There
are a few simple guidelines to help keep your porcelain veneers in top
condition for years to come.
- The importance of regular dental care - Regular, semi-annual visits to your dentist are an essential part of any dental care regimen. Visit your dentist twice a year for teeth cleaning and a check-up.
- The need for good oral hygiene - It is advisable to discuss the best type of toothpaste with your cosmetic dentist, to ensure that you are not using a toothpaste and toothbrush that is too harsh for your dental veneers.
- Bad habits for porcelain veneers - Porcelain veneers should be aware that they are more delicate than natural teeth. Porcelain veneers are not designed for chewing hard items, such as ice or rock candy.
