Porcelain veneers do not require special care but should be treated like natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential for their longevity.
They feed on sugars and produce acids that weaken and demineralize tooth enamel, leading to decay and cavities.
They apply consistent pressure on teeth over time, shifting them to desired positions. They correct misalignment, spacing, and bite issues.
Gum stimulators with a silicone tip, soft rubber tip, textured tip, massaging tip, and bristle tip can be used with porcelain veneers, but remove your aligners for effective cleaning between your teeth.
Limit acidic foods and drinks, use a straw, drink water afterward, and wait at least 30 minutes after consuming acids to brush.
Gum recession can result from periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, hormonal changes, tobacco use, and other factors.
