Please be aware of the following information about your veneers:

​

Chewing: If we used anesthetic during the procedure, avoid chewing until the numbness has worn off completely. Avoid chewing excessively hard foods such as hard candy, corn nuts, ice, bones, etc., because the material can be broken from the tooth under extreme force. In the event a breakage occurs, please contact us.

 

Recall Visits: Professional examinations every six months are suggested. Any developing problems can be observed at an early stage and can be repaired easily, while waiting for a longer time may require redoing the veneer. 

 

Preventive Procedures: To provide optimum longevity of your restorations and to prevent future dental decay and supporting tissue breakdown, please  Brush with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, and floss your teeth at least once a day, preferably before going to bed

 

The Future: You will receive several years of service from your veneers. However, after observing veneers serve patients for many years, we have seen the following conditions occur occasionally.

a. Depending on the foods you eat and other factors, a slight change in the color of the veneers may occur over a period of years. If the color change is objectionable to you, the veneers should be replaced.

b. Depending on what you eat or drink, the veneers may develop slight stains around the edges. Please tell us if this occurs. Repairs can usually be accomplished early, prolonging the service of the veneers.

c. The gums (gingiva) may recede from the veneers, displaying discolored tooth structure underneath. This condition may require veneer replacement or other modifications.
