Key benefits of Porcelain Veneers
-
One of the biggest advantages of porcelain veneers is their versatility. Instead of relying on other cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers will give you an all-in-one solution.
-
Additionally, porcelain does not have any of the cracks and crevices that you will see and find in natural tooth enamel does. As a result, veneers are less prone to have any stains.
-
Porcelain veneers will give you a symmetrical look, giving you a perfect smile. You also don’t have to worry about them falling out as they are quite strong.
What to eat before and after the procedure?
Whether you’re already experiencing pain or not before the procedure avoid tough, hard-to-bite foods such as:
-
Tough, chewy meats
-
Ice cubes (crunching on ice is a big no-no)
-
Apples (biting into an apple should be avoided)
-
Sticky, toffees and candie
Stick to soft foods such as:
-
Soft chicken cut into bite-sized pieces
-
Pasta
-
Mashed potatoes
-
Eggs
-
Fruits such as plums and bananas
Durability of Porcelain Veneers
On average, porcelain veneers should last for at least 10 years. They can definitely last longer with the appropriate maintenance. Many patients have porcelain veneers that still look good after 20 years.
Maintain your oral hygiene regimen: brush twice a day, and regularly floss and visit the dentist for periodical check-ups.
