You finally have the smile you\u2019ve always wanted. But now, it\u2019s time to make sure you are maintaining it. With proper care, your veneers can last for 10 or more years. But if you don\u2019t maintain them, you could be setting yourself up for disaster! Keep reading to learn possible consequences of improper care and how to extend the lifespan of veneers in Annapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risks and Complications of Improper Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of all cosmetic dentistry treatments, porcelain veneers last the longest. But they don\u2019t guarantee healthy teeth. Here are a few complications you could encounter without proper maintenance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Decay <\/strong>\u2013 Porcelain will not decay, but the areas of your teeth that are not covered by the veneer can still develop cavities. If you develop decay around the margins of the veneer, they can fall off!<\/li><li><strong>Discoloration<\/strong> \u2013 Veneers are typically made of stain-resistant porcelain, so they won\u2019t stain like dental bonding and tooth-colored fillings. But if you\u2019re not careful, they can become discolored over time.<\/li><li><strong>Cracking or Chipping<\/strong> \u2013 If you have a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth (also known as bruxism), this pressure can damage your veneers. They are no match for the force and can chip break or crack.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proper Care for Your Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While porcelain veneers last for 10 years on average, some patients have had theirs last for 15 years or longer! How did they do this? They practiced good oral health! Here are a few ways you can keep your veneers looking as beautiful as the day you got them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Maintaining Proper Dental Hygiene<\/strong> \u2013 Ideally, you will want to brush and floss after every meal. But at the very least, you should make sure that you\u2019re brushing your teeth twice a day with a nonabrasive toothpaste and flossing once a day. Don\u2019t forget to rinse with an alcohol-free antiseptic mouthwash. Excessive exposure to alcohol can soften the cement that holds the veneers to your teeth and allow it to stain or deteriorate.<\/li><li><strong>Use a Dental Guard<\/strong> \u2013 If you suffer from bruxism or play sports, it\u2019s a good idea to ask your dentist about getting a custom dental guard. They can fit you for a bite guard if you clench or grind your teeth at night, but your dentist may also be able to create a mouthguard for whichever contact or non-contact sport you play.<\/li><li><strong>Visit Your Dentist on a Regular Basis<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s important to visit your dentist for regular dental cleanings and exams to maintain the health of your natural teeth and gums. This will help extend the life of your veneers by giving them healthy, long-lasting support.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your veneers have given you the perfect smile; don\u2019t mistreat it! Your cosmetic dentist in Annapolis can help keep your smile radiant. But just like you\u2019ve had to take care of your natural teeth, you must also take good care of your veneers to make them last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drs.
