Do’s for Veneer Care:
Brush and Floss Regularly
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to brush twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and food particles.
Visit Your Dentist for Checkups
Regular checkups and cleanings help keep your veneers and overall oral health in check.
Wear a Nightguard if You Grind Your Teeth
If you grind your teeth at night, ask us about a custom night guard to protect your veneers.
Be Mindful of Staining Foods
Limit foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine to maintain the brightness of your veneers.
Don’ts for Veneer Care:
Don’t Use Your Teeth as Tools
Avoid biting into hard objects like ice or pens to prevent damage.
Don’t Chew on Hard or Sticky Foods
Foods like hard candy or caramel can damage veneers, so opt for softer options.
