Veneers<\/a> are an incredibly popular solution to upgrade your grin because they can fix multiple issues all at one time. These thin ceramic covers are bonded to the front of your teeth to mask chips, discoloration, cracks, or minor gaps. Plus, they\u2019re color-matched to your natural pearly whites so that no one will notice they\u2019re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, most dental insurance plans don\u2019t cover veneers because they\u2019re considered an elective cosmetic procedure not essential for oral health. When you\u2019ve invested time and resources into a treatment, it\u2019s natural to want to do everything you can to make it last. Keep reading for 3 tips to help keep your veneers in excellent condition so you can enjoy your newly perfected smile longer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Implement an At-Home Oral Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t already have one in place, now\u2019s the perfect time to start a consistent at-home dental care routine. Although your veneers are made of ceramic and cannot get cavities, the tooth they\u2019re bonded to can develop decay or gum disease. If your pearly white becomes too damaged or your gums recede too far, the porcelain could loosen or fall off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent this, you should brush and floss your teeth every morning and night to remove harmful bacteria and plaque buildup. It\u2019s also a good idea to schedule a routine checkup with your dentist every 6 months so they can catch and address any areas of concern before they progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Watch What You Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are known to be incredibly resilient because they\u2019re coated with a glaze so durable that it resists staining and chipping. They\u2019re not invincible, however, and biting or eating certain foods can harm them. For example, you might want to avoid anything overly hard that can crack them when you bite down. Sugary foods attract harmful bacteria that contribute to cavities, so you may also want to keep those to a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that your natural teeth are more porous than the porcelain covers so they\u2019ll stain more easily. If you want to avoid an unevenly shaded smile, you should steer clear of dark foods and drinks known to cause discoloration. Some common culprits include coffee, tea, wine, blueberries, and food dyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Try Not to Grind Your Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people suffer from chronic teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, which can put their teeth and veneers at risk. If you tend to have a stiff or sore jaw when you wake up in the morning, you could be unconsciously clenching your pearly whites together at night while you sleep. All the added pressure can wear down your veneers prematurely which leaves them more vulnerable to physical damage like cracks or breaks. If you\u2019re concerned that this may be an issue for you, your dentist can provide an oral appliance like a nightguard to protect your grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your veneers can last 30+ years with the right care and making these simple adjustments can go a long way toward extending their lifespan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
