Veneers are one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental treatments, and it\u2019s not hard to see why. They are completely customizable, highly versatile, and designed to last for 15+ years, after all. But what is the secret to prolonging the lifespan of your veneers<\/a>? Prevention. Here are five must-know tips for keeping your beautiful smile in tip-top shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Avoid Grinding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bruxism (the condition of chronically grinding or clenching your teeth) isn\u2019t only damaging to the condition of your smile, but it often goes unnoticed as well. That\u2019s because it\u2019s typically a nocturnal habit. The good news is that your dentist can intervene with a custom-made nightguard when they see signs of premature wear and tear. This durable appliance will ensure you grind away at the plastic rather than your veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Brush and Floss Regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the veneers themselves are unable to develop cavities, the teeth underneath certainly can. Therefore, it\u2019s of the utmost importance that you commit to a solid dental care routine, including brushing twice a day and flossing each evening. Remember, tooth decay can\u2019t be ignored. So, if one of your treated teeth develops a cavity, the veneer will need to be removed and replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Switch Up Your Toothpaste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, not all toothpastes are created equal. While some are ideal for both your natural teeth and your veneers, others are comprised of abrasive ingredients that can leave behind scratches. Although these alterations may be microscopic at first, they can dull the overall appearance of your veneers over time. So, make sure to ask your cosmetic dentist what they recommend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Avoid Unhealthy Dental Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the quickest ways to shorten the lifespan of your veneers is by engaging in unhealthy dental habits. Smoking, opening packages with your teeth, chewing on ice, and biting your nails can all compromise your oral health and your new grin. Therefore, do your best to avoid these behaviors entirely \u2013 your smile will thank you for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Visit Your Dentist Every Six Months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patients often forget just how important their biannual dental checkups and cleanings are. Not only do these six-month appointments catch dental problems in the early stages, but they also screen for oral health and remove caked-on plaque and tartar. For these reasons, your dental visits should be a priority for both the condition of your oral health and veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers require an investment of both your time and your money, so you naturally want the results to last as long as possible. The good news is that you can set yourself up for success by implementing the above best practices!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
