AFTERCARE FOR DENTAL VENEERS
Once the procedure is done, your gums may feel a little sore. This is normal and will settle down after a few days. Veneers can be easily maintained as they require the same care as natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, routine check-ups and appointments with the dentist will keep the veneers looking good for years.
Our dentist will discuss the different options available. We have also created a list of the best ways to take care of your veneers. Feel free to call us at 02073873317 and get effective tips on maintaining your veneers.
It is important to maintain good oral habits that include brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. You can also use a mouthwash to lessen the risks associated with gum disease and tooth decay.
You should avoid certain foods and drinks that stain teeth and prevent colour contrast between your natural teeth and your new veneers. Make sure you restrict intake of black teas, coffees and red wines, initially. Quit smoking and avoid nicotine after having porcelain dental veneers fitted in London.
You should go for routine checkups and professional cleanings once every six months. This will enable the dentist to detect any problems early so that they can be dealt with before they become serious.
If you have a tendency to grind your teeth, we suggest wearing a night guard. This will prevent your veneers from getting worn down.
Having porcelain veneers fitted the pros.
