Will Porcelain Veneers Hold Up?

Feeling confident about your cosmetic treatment choices is multi-faceted. First, you need to feel good about the potential results of the service you choose. If you have been considering porcelain veneers, then you probably already know they offer a whiter smile, filled gaps between your teeth, improved tooth shape and size, and the camouflaging of problems like chips and cracks. However, do you know what to expect from them over time? To reassure you that veneers will, in fact, provide you with long-term beauty, we encourage you to learn more about the benefits that pay out while you wear them:

Veneers Are Strong

Did you know that veneers are extremely strong? So much so that they are considered a near second in strength and durability when compared with your natural teeth. If you are concerned about their ability to withstand daily chewing and speaking, you have nothing to worry about. They are crafted to function as wonderfully as they look.

Porcelain Veneers Resist Staining

Veneers offer powerful stain resistance, which is essential if one of your concerns is achieving and maintaining a white smile. Fortunately, you will not have to give up deeply pigmented foods. In fact, you may continue enjoying red wine and any other food or drink you like without giving too much thought to discoloration.

Brush and Floss – It’s That Simple

Like your own natural smile, your veneers will continue to last and look good as long as you give them the care they need. Porcelain veneers are about as simple to care for as your natural teeth. We encourage you to use non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush to brush your smile twice a day – the same advice we offer for your natural smile. Floss once daily and your smile will continue to look bright and beautiful.
