Veneers
Veneers care guide: habits that help your smile last
Veneers are designed to look natural and feel comfortable, but longevity depends on daily habits, bite protection, and regular
professional care.
1) Brush and floss consistently
Veneers cover the front surface of teeth, but the gumline and surrounding teeth still require daily brushing and flossing.
Consistent hygiene helps reduce inflammation and protects the margins.
2) Avoid high-risk habits
Nail biting, chewing ice, and using teeth as tools can increase the risk of chips. If you grind your teeth at night, ask
about a nightguard.
3) Protect your bite
Long-term success depends on how your bite contacts the veneers. During planning, bite adjustments and design details help
reduce excess stress.
4) Keep routine visits
Regular cleanings and checkups help catch small issues early. Your dentist can evaluate margins, bite stability, and any wear
patterns.
