Frequently Asked Questions

How do I look after my new smile?

You can eat with porcelain veneers and crowns in the normal way as you would with natural teeth. However, you should be careful not to open drink bottles or dive into toffee apples!

Correct tooth brushing twice a day with Sonicare, flossing between teeth daily and using a good mouthwash (e.g. Retardex) will help maintain excellent dental health.

We also recommend you see our Hygienist at least twice a year to ensure we regularly remove the harmful plaque and tartar beneath the gum levels. This will prevent gum disease from progressing.

Prevention of grinding

It is advisable to wear a protective plastic appliance at night to help prevent any damage to porcelain restorations (if you have had extensive work done). Research has shown that many people unknowingly clench their teeth together when stressed or when sleeping. This places enormous forces that can damage teeth or fillings. By wearing a plastic appliance helps to relax the facial muscles and prevents harmful clenching forces to be transmitted.
