Porcelain veneers can effectively create more even and aesthetically pleasing incisal edges on teeth, enhancing their overall look.
Using dental bonding, veneers, crowns, or if severe, root canal therapy.
Using mouthwash or breath fresheners is acceptable, but it’s essential to rinse thoroughly and ensure the aligners remain clean.
While there are no strict dietary restrictions with dental implants, it’s wise to avoid very hard or sticky foods that could put excessive pressure on the implants or damage the restoration.
You can consume herbal tea with added collagen and antioxidants with porcelain veneers, but be mindful of any staining potential and maintain good oral hygiene.
Common reasons include gingivitis, poor oral hygiene, brushing too hard, pregnancy, or certain medications.
