Depending on how you care for them, porcelain veneers have the potential to last for anywhere from seven to 15 years. And the good news is, they're straightforward to manage! Here's what you should know.
What Is a Dental Veneer?
Veneers are micro-thin slivers of porcelain that your dentist designs to cover the surface of your teeth. They can change the shape and shade of your tooth to repair it or even completely redesign your smile.
Our cosmetic dentists in Champaign, IL use multiple veneers to add symmetry and aesthetics to smiles that have cosmetic concerns like:
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Small tooth alignment concerns
- Oddly shaped teeth
- Worn or damaged teeth
Caring for Porcelain Veneers
Since veneers fit over your teeth, no changes are required for brushing and flossing. They're designed to blend flawlessly with your tooth, and you should brush twice daily and floss once, just like you normally would.
Regular visits to your Champaign dentist for routine teeth cleanings and checkups every six months ensure that your veneers are healthy and functioning properly with no concerns.
