Porcelain veneers are always the first choice in restoring the aesthetics of the teeth. However, no matter how great this solution is, if not properly cared for, it will affect the quality and longevity of porcelain teeth. Remember the following notes after applying porcelain veneers.
With the technique of making porcelain teeth but preserving the maximum real tooth tissue; Porcelain Veneer has an outstanding advantage over other types of porcelain teeth. Besides, to make the teeth meet the requirements of both aesthetics and function, it requires the dentist/technician to have solid skills. From the stage of preparing the real tooth surface, taking impressions, pouring models, attaching teeth, to the stage of crafting perfect teeth down to every detail. All require meticulousness, precision and dexterity.
To ensure the best quality of teeth, you need to remember the following notes after applying porcelain veneers:
1. Notes after applying porcelain veneers, you need to have a reasonable diet:
Eating and drinking seem simple but actually have a great impact on the quality of porcelain teeth.
The hardness of porcelain veneers can reach 360-400 MPa (while the hardness of real teeth is about 80-120 MPa).
- However, the durability of dental veneer also depends on the adhesive layer between the two layers of teeth. Therefore, to ensure this adhesive layer is stable, after applying teeth, you need to limit chewing for at least 60 minutes.
- At the same time, you should not chew foods that are too hard or tough. Because the large tearing force over a long period of time will affect the bonding layer, as well as degrade the porcelain veneer surface.
- Note that you should also chew evenly on both jaws, not concentrated on one side.
- Avoid eating foods that are too hot regularly, because it will increase the sensitivity of the teeth.
- You should eliminate the bad habit of using your teeth to tear packaging and open bottle caps
- Say no to chewing hard candy or ice to limit the possibility of chipping or breaking your teeth due to excessive biting force.
- Absolutely do not smoke or chew tobacco. Because the tar from tobacco can stick to the tooth surface and reduce the brightness of the veneer.
2. Notes after applying porcelain veneers, you need to have a proper oral health care regimen
- Brush your teeth at least 2 times/day, each time for at least 2 minutes.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid damaging the gums (the gum line where the veneer is in contact)
- Use dental floss to clean between teeth, or a water flosser. Avoid using bamboo toothpicks too much because it can cause gingivitis, bone loss, exposed teeth, etc.
- After eating, if you cannot brush your teeth, you can rinse your mouth with filtered water. Or you can chew sugar-free gum. This helps to secrete more saliva and temporarily clean the mouth, helping to prevent tooth decay.
- At the end of the teeth cleaning step, you can use mouthwash (or saline) to effectively clean the mouth.
3. Do not neglect regular dental check-ups after porcelain veneers
After completing porcelain teeth, there will usually be regular dental check-ups. To check the connection between the Veneer and the real teeth; Check the tightness, bite, chewing ability or if there are any problems. So do not skip these check-ups.
In addition, you should also maintain the habit of regular dental check-ups every 3-6 months; To closely monitor oral problems: plaque levels, tooth condition…
