These thin shell coverings are meant\nto last a decade or more if you take care of them; however, it is possible for\nyour veneer to become damaged. As a result, your cosmetic dentist in Carrollton\nwill need to remove and replace it. It\u2019s important that should this happen,\nonly your dentist should remove the veneer, as they have the proper tools and\nequipment to do it safely and effectively.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Extend the Life of Your Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent damage to your veneers, there are some things you\ncan do to help them last longer. While not all chips, cracks, and breaks are\navoidable, try following these tips to minimize the likeliness that you\u2019ll need\na veneer replacement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Maintain a good oral hygiene routine<\/strong>:\nThis includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing at least once a day,\nand using an ADA-approved mouthwash. While the porcelain veneer cannot decay,\nthe natural tooth underneath can, so it\u2019s important to keep your oral health in\ncheck with or without veneers. <\/li><li><strong>Wear a mouthguard: <\/strong>If you\u2019re prone to\nteeth grinding or clenching, or if you enjoy playing sports or engaging in\noutdoor activities, make sure you speak to your dentist about getting a\ncustom-made nightguard. This will not only prevent excessive wear and tear on\nyour teeth, but it will also reduce the chances of chips or cracks occurring\nwithin your veneers.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid hard, crunchy foods:<\/strong> If at all\npossible, avoid biting into anything hard or crunchy (i.e. fruits, raw\nvegetables, chips), as this could cause your veneer to crack or become chipped.\nIt could also cause you to break a veneer and require a replacement. <\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t chew on ice or inanimate objects:<\/strong>\nJust like hard foods, chewing on ice or using your teeth as tools (i.e. opening\nbags) can lead to damaged veneers. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these simple steps, you can be well on your way\nto enjoying your new veneers for a longer length of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. Moji Chandy earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from NYU College of Dentistry and has been practicing dentistry for more than 12 years.
