While these appliances will help protect the treated teeth from infection and injury, excellent oral hygiene habits will still be essential to keep your grin healthy and beautiful. Here\u2019s a brief guide to how porcelain veneers are placed and how you can choose the best toothpaste to keep them in great shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells crafted to fit over troubled teeth to cover up flaws like cracks, chips, stains, gaps, and misshapenness, and they can sometimes be used to address minor dental misalignments by resculpting the teeth into straighter positions. These appliances can only be cemented over the teeth being treated after a small amount of enamel has been removed, but this will only be done after you receive an appropriate anesthetic to ensure your comfort. With excellent care, your veneers can last for fifteen years or more before needing replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Take Excellent Care of My Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers require the same oral hygiene routine as real teeth, and they can be damaged if exposed to too much stress. To keep your veneers in great shape, stick to the following rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brush, floss, and rinse with antibacterial mouthwash every day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be careful when chewing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refrain from bad habits like smoking or excessive consumption of alcohol, sugar, and acid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never use your teeth to open packages or bottles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear an athletic mouthguard when playing sports or riding a bike.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear a nightguard to bed if you grind your teeth at night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Toothpaste Is Best for Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional toothpastes are too abrasive for porcelain veneers and other dental restorations, and using these products can leave unsightly scratches on them that can detract from the beauty of your smile. It\u2019s best to stock up on gel-type toothpaste that is much gentler on your appliances. This way, you can keep your transformed smile clean and healthy without worrying about distracting blemishes forming on your veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers can serve you for many years if you take great care of them. Consulting with your dentist can help you keep your restorations and natural teeth in great shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental Group West offers the finest oral health services in Toledo.
