Depending on oral hygiene habits and lifestyle, injectable veneers typically last between five to seven years. While they are not as long-lasting as porcelain veneers, they are an excellent choice for those seeking a cost-effective, minimally invasive cosmetic solution.
Tips for Caring for Injectable Veneers
With proper care, you can maximize the longevity of your veneers. Here are some tips:
- Oral Hygiene — Brush twice daily and floss once to maintain the veneers and protect underlying teeth.
- Diet — Avoid hard or sticky foods to prevent chipping or cracking. Also, minimize staining foods and drinks like coffee and red wine to help maintain their appearance.
- Regular Dental Checkups — Professional cleanings and examinations at the Dentist at Rock Creek allow Dr. Vo to monitor your veneers and address any issues early.
- Use Non-Abrasive Toothpaste— Avoid abrasive products that could damage the surface of your veneers.
- Teeth Grinding — Bruxism or nail biting can shorten the life of your veneers. If you grind your teeth, Dr. Vo may recommend a custom night guard to protect them.
- Protect Your Smile — If you play contact sports, consider a mouthguard to shield your veneers from impact.
