How to Care For Your Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers, a very popular choice amongst the A-listers, will brighten your smile and leave an impression everywhere you go. The best part about veneers: they are not much different from your natural teeth in terms of maintenance. Treat your porcelain veneers like you would your natural teeth, with gentle care and diligent brushing and flossing.

As a Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist to the stars, I am dedicated to making sure that you don’t live with less than dazzling teeth. Porcelain veneers can cover many imperfections in the teeth by bonding a thin shell directly to the tooth enamel. Although porcelain veneers are thin, they are extremely durable and stain-resistant. The porcelain is immune to tooth decay, but the uncovered part of your tooth is not, so it is important to keep your teeth clean and visit your dentist on a consistent basis.

Because veneers are made of porcelain, they do not respond to whitening treatments. However, if you feel your veneers look a little dim, you can still whiten your teeth, which   will actually affect the natural tooth behind your veneer and brighten it up. Porcelain veneers come in different shades of white so you can select the color you prefer best. I will help you choose a natural-looking color, prep your teeth, and then fit the porcelain veneers to your enamel. Immediately after the procedure, I recommend you eat softer foods until you get used to the feel and bite of your veneers. After that, you should have no limitations on what you eat!

I am dedicated to helping you achieve an amazing, healthy smile.
