1) Maintain your dental health
Just because your smile is now beautiful and has an extra layer of protection does not mean it does not require care. Patients with veneers should still brush and floss the teeth every day, and keep up with any other hygiene tasks that our Beverly Hills porcelain veneers expert recommends.
2) Avoid grinding the teeth
Habitual clenching and grinding the teeth is called bruxism. This can damage both the teeth and veneers. If this is a habit that you have or develop, a mouth guard provided by our dentist can help.
3) Avoid staining substances
Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains, but can still change color over time. To keep your veneers bright and white, avoid foods such as hard candies and red sauce, as well as sodas and energy drinks.
