Veneers can do that. In addition to being incredibly versatile, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdental.ca\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> treatment is long-lasting. In fact, many patients enjoy the results for 10+ years! The key is proper maintenance. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, here are four habits that will make your veneers last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Switch Your Toothpaste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although veneers are custom-made to look like the real thing (albeit a bit better!), they are artificial. To prevent small scratches from developing on the surface, dulling their appearance over time, patients are encouraged to opt for toothpaste that doesn\u2019t have abrasive ingredients. If you\u2019re not sure which one to choose, don\u2019t hesitate to ask your dental team for their recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Commit to a Solid At-Home Dental Care Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, even though your veneers are cavity-resistant, your natural teeth aren\u2019t. Plus, your gums can quickly develop an infection if they aren\u2019t cared for. So, if you want your results to last and your smile to stay healthy, you need to commit to a solid at-home dental care routine. That includes brushing twice a day (with the special toothpaste mentioned above) as well as flossing and rinsing with mouthwash daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Be Mindful of What You Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While some foods increase the risk of dental damage (i.e., hard pretzels, peanut brittle, lollipops), others benefit your oral health. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to be mindful of what you eat! To preserve your oral health and your veneers, it\u2019s best to fill your plate with nutrient-dense foods that are softer in consistency, like cooked carrots, plain yogurt, oatmeal, and strawberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Schedule a Dental Visit Twice a Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have one veneer or 10+ veneers, you need to schedule a dental checkup and teeth cleaning every six months. Otherwise, oral cancer, gum disease, tooth decay, and other common problems can develop (and progress) under the radar. Not only that, but your dentist uses your biannual visits to examine the condition of your veneers, ensuring they are securely in position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisherdental.ca\/\">Fisher Dental<\/a> wants you to have a smile that you genuinely love.
