Perfect teeth can absolutely boost your confidence that you’d love to show it off to anyone. Porcelain Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry treatment that can help you achieve that smile similar to celebrities and beauty queens and you might be wondering, how long do they last?
They are stronger like your real teeth and are durable that could last up to 10-15 years. With proper oral health care, the veneers may increase its lifespan to more than 20 years while some veneers needs to be replaced in 12 or more years as needed. If it ever chips off, which rarely happens, bring it to your dental professional so they can get it rebonded or replaced immediately.
How do you take care of your veneers?
Porcelain Veneers can enhance your appearance but without proper oral health care, it sure can get discolored, chipped or even broken. Here are some tips to help you properly care for your veneers.
Do Not Chew on Hard Food
Caring for your veneers is similar to caring for you natural teeth. Chewing on hard food can cause cracking or chipping of your veneers but it could rarely happen. Using your teeth in the lieu of scissors when opening packaging is also a big no-no. Damage in your veneers could happen from habitual chewing on the same spot due from the pressure or force.Proper Oral Hygiene
In order for your porcelain veneers to look flawless for many years, it is a must to practice proper oral hygiene. Parts of your teeth might still get decay. It is important to brush at least two to three times a day, floss once a day and don’t forget to rinse as it could prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
