\"womanAre you tired of looking in the mirror at your imperfect smile? Porcelain veneers in Waterbury are a simple solution to get the smile of your dreams<\/a>. The thin shells instantly improve the color, size, shape, and proportion of your teeth using a minimally invasive procedure. They can last for a decade or longer if you take the time to care for your veneers properly. Here are 5 easy tips to help you protect your investment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Don\u2019t chew on inedible objects.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although porcelain veneers are thin, they are durable. They\ncan withstand everyday wear and tear that\u2019s associated with eating; however,\nchewing anything other than food can damage them. It\u2019s best to avoid chewing on\nanything that isn\u2019t edible, including pens, pencils, and your fingernails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Don\u2019t use your teeth as tools.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it, we\u2019ve all used our teeth as tools to open a package\nor tear through tape when we can\u2019t reach scissors in a hurry. Although it might\nbe handy to use your teeth, you\u2019ll want to avoid using them as tools after\nyou\u2019ve received your veneers. Although it may seem innocent to open a bag of\nchips with your teeth, this can break a veneer or make it fall off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Avoid stain-causing factors.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can enjoy a bright, white smile that lasts because porcelain is stain-resistant; however, your underlying teeth are still susceptible to discoloration. It is best to avoid darkly pigmented foods and drinks that may cause your teeth to darken over time. Although your veneers won\u2019t change color, they may appear darker if your teeth develop stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Use nonabrasive dental products.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The surfaces of your veneers can become scratched if you\naren\u2019t careful. This can make your new smile lose its luster. Food particles\ncan get trapped in the fine lines, making your smile look discolored. It\u2019s best\nto use a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste when cleaning your\nteeth to prevent scratches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Protect your teeth. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you play sports, your dentist will recommend you wear an\nathletic mouthguard. The protective barrier will reduce any impact if there\u2019s\ntrauma or an injury to your mouth. This isn\u2019t just important for protecting your\nveneers but also your natural teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure Your New Smile Lasts!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution to achieve the\npicture-perfect smile you\u2019ve always wanted. Your results can last for many\nyears with the right aftercare; however, even with the best efforts, a veneer\ncan break or fall off over time. Don\u2019t worry, your dentist can easily replace\nit to restore your beautiful smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ready to love the smile you see in the mirror,\nyour cosmetic dentist can transform your teeth with veneers. Enjoy a lasting\nsolution to revamp your confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
