Porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant, but they still require proper care to maintain their beauty and maximize their lifespan. Caring for veneers is similar to natural teeth, with a few considerations to keep them looking stunning for 10–15 years or longer.
Daily Oral Hygiene Essentials
Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste and soft-bristle toothbrush. Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles between your veneers and along the gum line.
Habits to Avoid with Veneers
Veneers are strong but not indestructible.
- Biting hard objects — Don't use your veneered teeth to open packages, bite fingernails, or chew on ice, pens, or other hard items that could chip or crack the porcelain.
- Grinding and clenching — If you grind your teeth at night, wear a custom nightguard to prevent damaging your veneers.
Regular Dental Checkups Matter
Schedule professional cleanings and checkups every six months so we can monitor your veneers and maintain the health of your underlying teeth and gums. Routine exams enable us to identify minor issues early, preventing them from becoming more significant problems that require veneer replacement.
