Easy Steps You Can Take From Home to Care for Your New Veneers

Do you have a cosmetic imperfection in your smile you wish you could conceal with a simple, non-invasive treatment? If you are local to Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, area dentist Dr. Hema Nair, the team at Star Care Dental would like to tell you about dental veneers. A thin porcelain shell, porcelain veneers are great at covering flaws in your smile. 

Preparation is very simple, requiring a very thin layer of enamel to be removed to make room for the veneer to be bonded to the tooth. Once you receive your veneers, your smile will be one you can be proud of. However, the work does not end here. Read on for some basic tips and tricks you can follow at home to ensure your veneers remain in great shape.

Proper Brushing

The toothbrush you choose for your oral hygiene regimen plays a significant part in the care of your veneers. Make sure you are using a soft-bristled toothbrush so that your veneers remain sleek. Using hard bristles could damage the smooth porcelain surface over time. If you are not sure about the toothbrush you are using, ask your dentist.

Oral Hygiene

Speaking of oral hygiene, this is absolutely essential. Keeping up with your routine will not only ensure you maintain excellent oral health but that your veneers retain their great quality. Brushing correctly and keeping your veneers free of bacteria, plaque, and tartar are paramount to long-term success.

Look For Signs of Gum Disease

When you develop gum disease, it will lead to inflammation of the gums. This will impact the appearance of your teeth and could affect the state of your new veneers. Look for early signs of gum disease, including bleeding gums or gums that are red, swollen, and sore. See your dentist for treatment if you notice these symptoms.
