One of the most effective ways to dramatically make your smile more gleaming when other methods fail: dental veneers. Each veneer consists of a thin piece of bio compatible material that your dentist bonds to the front of a tooth.  This is making it a favorite for patients who want to enhance their smile. Veneers also cover chipped, cracked, misshapen, crooked or worn teeth and close gaps between them.

Dental Porcelain Can Last Longer

Veneers are an especially good choice when you consider how long they can last with proper care. Some practices offer veneers made from composite resin. This option works for patients on a tighter budget. However, cosmetic dental porcelain is a far superior material. It provides the same natural translucency as real teeth and delivers a more lifelike appearance. At our North Canton and Jackson Township office, this is the primary type we provide because our patients deserve only the best. While resin veneers may need replacement every few years, porcelain veneers can last 10–20 years with proper care.

Dental Veneers are Durable

That means continuing to spend two minutes after breakfast and dinner thoroughly brushing the front and back of every tooth (though veneers do resist staining much better than natural teeth) and carefully flossing both sides of each one after your last snack. At least twice a year, you also need to have our dental hygienist provide a professional cleaning, since she has the tools and techniques to do a much better job than you can trying to reach those difficult places, as well as anti-bacterial solutions when areas are in trouble. You should get a digital x-ray once a year to ensure that periodontal bacteria have not infected your jawbone.

Veneer durability also depends on breaking bad habits that can damage them. Avoid smoking or chewing on pens and pencils. Never use your teeth to pull clothing on or off. If you play sports, always wear a custom mouthguard to protect your smile. You should also brush after drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or dark sodas, and after eating foods like blueberries or tomatoes.  Avoid chewing on ice, hard candy, jerky, and tough meats. If you know that you grind your teeth at night, have us create a nightguard to wear while you sleep to avoid any possible damage.
