We have placed porcelain veneers on your teeth. These restorations were placed with
the finest materials and techniques available today. However, you should be aware of
the following things about your restoration because, as with a fine automobile or
watch, only your continuing care and concern can assure optimum service
longevity.
Chewing  As with natural teeth, avoid chewing excessively hard foods on the veneered teeth (hardy candy, ice, bones, etc.) because under extreme forces the porcelain material can be broken. Recalls Visit us for examinations and check-ups at your regular six-month examination periods or during recommended recall visits. Often problems that are developing with the veneers can be found at an early stage and repaired easily, whereas waiting for a longer time may require redoing entire restorations. Preventive Procedures To provide optimum longevity for your restorations and to prevent future dental decay or supporting tissue breakdown, please use the following preventive procedures.
We expect that you will receive several years of service from these veneers. However, certain situations occasionally occur that necessitate restoration replacement. Extreme force or trauma can break porcelain veneers just as it can break natural teeth. Use care in sports or other potentially traumatic situations. Do not bite extremely hard objects with a single tooth. Breakage usually requires remaking the restoration, but occasionally it can be repaired. Call us if you notice any changes or have any questions about your veneers. |
