Do’s and Don’t’s for Veneers
There is a chance your new smile will feel a little different at first. This is normal. It can take a few days for the shape, size and positioning to feel natural.
Do’s
It is important to look after your temporary veneers.
- Use a soft to ultra-soft tooth brush.
- Brush lightly in circular motions.
- Use a mouthwash (if provided).
Don’t’s
Please avoid the following:
- Grinding or clenching.
- Flossing, as this may loosen the bond between your natural tooth and the temporary one(s).
- Biting things that may chip your teeth (ie: hard candy, ice, fingernails, paperclips etc.).
- Opening packages with your teeth as this may cause teeth to twist and loosen.
