Maintaining Your Veneers and Crowns

Post-Smile Makeover Care: Maintaining Your Veneers and Crowns

After receiving veneers or crowns at New Look Smile, maintaining a proper hygiene routine is essential to ensure the longevity and health of your new smile. Here are some key steps to keep your veneers and crowns looking their best and staying healthy.

Daily Oral Hygiene

1. Brush Regularly: Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. This helps prevent plaque buildup and keeps your veneers and crowns clean.
2. Floss Daily: Floss between your teeth and around your veneers and crowns to remove food particles and plaque. Use a gentle technique to avoid damaging the restorations.
3. Use an Antibacterial Mouthwash: Rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce plaque and bacteria in your mouth, helping to prevent gum disease and decay around your veneers and crowns.

Professional Dental Care

1. Regular Dental Checkups: Schedule yearly checkups with New Look Smile or another private clinic in your home country. Professional cleanings will help maintain your oral health and ensure your veneers and crowns are in good condition.
2. Promptly Address Issues: If you notice any problems with your veneers or crowns, such as chips, cracks, or sensitivity, contact your dentist immediately. Early intervention can prevent further damage and ensure your restorations remain intact.

Lifestyle Considerations

1. Avoid Hard Foods: Avoid biting into hard foods such as ice, hard candy, or nuts, as these can chip or crack your veneers or crowns. Cut these foods into smaller pieces and chew them with your back teeth.
2. Use a Mouthguard: If you grind your teeth at night or participate in contact sports, wear a mouthguard to protect your veneers and crowns from damage.

Additional Tips

1. Quit Smoking: Smoking can stain your natural teeth and the bonding material of your veneers and crowns. Quitting smoking will help maintain the appearance of your smile and improve your overall oral health.
2. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth hydrated and wash away food particles and bacteria.
3. Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support your overall oral health. Foods high in calcium, such as dairy products, leafy greens, and almonds, can help strengthen your teeth and restorations.

Conclusion

Following these hygiene practices and lifestyle considerations will help you maintain the beauty and health of your veneers and crowns after your smile makeover at New Look Smile. By taking good care of your new smile, you can enjoy its benefits for many years to come.
