Can I floss normally with veneers?+
Cleaning between your teeth remains essential because decay can begin at the margins. Ask your dentist or hygienist to show you which approach suits the spacing of your teeth and your restorations.
Do I have to give up coffee and tea?+
That depends partly on the material. Porcelain has strong colour stability, while composite can pick up stain over time. Your natural teeth can also change, so ask what is sensible for your own habits.
What should I avoid biting?+
Veneers can chip, and your bite and habits influence that risk. Nail biting, chewing pens and using teeth as tools are worth mentioning, and your dentist can comment on your particular edges.
Will veneers change at my regular cleaning?+
Tell your hygienist which teeth have veneers so the cleaning and any polishing can take them into account. Composite in particular can lose its polish over time, so its surface may be looked at.
What should I do if I feel a rough edge?+
Avoid guessing what it means, and call the clinic to describe it. A rough spot might be a surface change, a chip or something else, and it needs to be looked at to know.
Can Robertson residents ask about upkeep before booking treatment?+
