The custom porcelain veneers that you\u2019re looking for are right under your nose! Instead of googling, \u201cdentist near me\u201d to find the closest cosmetic dentist, consider visiting our dental experts at D &amp; G Dental. If you\u2019ve been struggling to achieve your highest quality of life because you have chipped, discolored, or unevenly spaced teeth, we can help you! We also provide all our patients the tips and information you need to maintain your corrected smile for years after receiving your porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are porcelain veneers?<\/h2>\n<p>Porcelain veneers are thin shells of high-quality dental porcelain that fit over your front teeth. These \u201cinstant makeovers\u201d are highly customizable. Your cosmetic dentist in Caldwell will personalize your porcelain veneers based on your individual measurements and the goals you have. In just two visits, D &amp; G Dental can transform your smile, instantly improving the color, size, shape, and overall appearance of your teeth. Your veneers can cover up plenty of imperfections like chips, cracks, gaps, misalignments, and misshapen teeth for years and years with the help of these 4 maintenance tips.<\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene<\/h3>\n<p>If you want your new smile to last long, you must keep your teeth and gums healthy. Good oral hygiene directly correlates to healthy teeth, which are necessary for your veneers to stay in good condition. Brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, along with professional cleanings at our Caldwell office will keep your natural teeth healthy and your porcelain veneers bright and shining.<\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t Bite Hard Objects or Food<\/h3>\n<p>Even with your natural teeth, you should avoid biting objects that put your teeth at risk for cracking, fracturing, or chipping. Opening packages and other things is not a good idea if you have porcelain veneers either. They will eventually tear, chip, or break from this bad habit. Veneers can withstand normal biting pressure, but they\u2019re long lifetime can be cut short if they are exposed to unnatural pressures.<\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Avoid Foods and Beverages That Can Stain<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best aspects of your veneers is that they are stain resistant! But, it\u2019s better to not challenge your new smile. If you drink dark substances like wine regularly, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colgate.com\/en\/us\/oc\/oral-health\/cosmetic-dentistry\/teeth-whitening\/article\/discolored-teeth-five-foods-that-cause-stains-0214\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stains will eventually occur<\/a> over the years. It is okay to indulge sometimes, but enjoy them in moderation with your smile in mind. Rinse your mouth afterwards so that some of the staining particles can be washed away.<\/p>\n<h3>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Visit Your Dentist Regularly<\/h3>\n<p>Visiting your dentist every 6 months is very important to the maintenance of your veneers. We can monitor your veneers, teeth and gums, and check for potential problems. During each dental appointment, we will perform professional cleanings\u2014preventive care avoids huge dental problems down the road for both your natural teeth and veneers. Dental visits every six months should be enough for you dentist to properly care for your teeth and gums.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule an Appointment with Your Dentist in Caldwell<\/h2>\n<p>Although getting porcelain veneers is relatively simple, it\u2019s still important to meet with your dentist to achieve and maintain those stunning results.
