Porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant, but they still require proper care to maintain their appearance and longevity. With the right habits, your veneers can look beautiful for 10 to 15 years or even longer.
Brush twice a day with a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste and floss daily, just as you would with natural teeth. Avoid biting into very hard foods like ice, hard candy, or bone, as these can chip or crack your veneers. If you grind your teeth at night, wearing a custom night guard is essential for protecting your investment.
Regular dental visits are also important for veneer maintenance. At My Scottsdale Dentist, we check your veneers at every appointment to ensure they remain in excellent condition and address any issues before they become problems.
