In as few as three visits to your dentist, you\u2019ll have a symmetrical, bright, and straight grin that you won\u2019t want to wait to show off to your friends and family. When you make an investment in your grin, it makes sense that you would want to make it last as long as possible. To keep your veneers looking clean, white, and healthy, it\u2019s best to take a few precautionary measures. Read on to learn how to preserve your beautiful smile so it can last for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid These Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancasterfamilysmiles.com\/veneers.html\">porcelain\nveneers<\/a> are stain-resistant, they can still become discolored, just not as\nquickly as your natural teeth. They\u2019re also not indestructible restorations,\nwhich is why it\u2019s a good idea to steer clear of foods like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Certain meats<\/strong> that are chewy and need to be ground down with your teeth to digest.<\/li><li><strong>Hard breads<\/strong> like baguettes can be difficult for your veneers to crunch through, especially your temporary ones.<\/li><li><strong>Hard and crunchy foods<\/strong> like nuts, seeds, and kettle chips. <\/li><li><strong>Stain-causing foods <\/strong>that have rich colors like curry, red wine, tomatoes, and dark soda.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more recommendations on how you can preserve your\nveneers, speak with your cosmetic dentist in Lancaster after your procedure.\nThey can also provide you with a complete list of foods and beverages to stay\naway from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treat or Quit Bad Oral Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad oral habits that can cause dental damage or staining like smoking and teeth grinding could ruin the appearance of your veneers. The best way to reduce your risk of damage is to quit these habits or seek treatment. If you grind and clench your teeth, your cosmetic dentist may offer custom-crafted nightguards to reduce the impact it has on your pearly whites, keeping them safe from becoming worn down or breaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Up With Your Oral Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your teeth may feel protected by your veneers, it\u2019s just as important as it was before to keep up with your oral hygiene routine. The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice each day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste and flossing at least one each day to maintain healthy teeth and gums. That way, harmful oral bacteria and food debris don\u2019t have an opportunity to collect in your mouth and cause oral health problems like cavities and gum disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit Your Cosmetic Dentist Every Six Months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like with the smile you had before porcelain veneers, you\u2019ll want to visit your dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning to maintain it. This way, they can tackle small problems before they turn into something more serious down the road, possibly ruining your veneers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the proper preventive measures in place, you can enjoy\nyour new smile for up to 25 years. Keeping up with your oral hygiene routine\npaired with being mindful about what you\u2019re eating can save you an unexpected visit\nwith your cosmetic dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Mahima Gupta has a diverse background working with many\nunique communities and patients.
