Risks of porcelain veneers

 There are risks and complications involved with any dental procedure and Taylor Street Dental North Rocks Dentist always take the time to ensure our patients understand any potential problems with our procedures before any treatment starts.

 

The risks include:

• Decay, stress from your bite or improper care can contribute to the veneer detaching.
• If your dentine (layer underneath the outside enamel) is exposed during the fitting, you may experience some temporary increased sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
• If you don’t maintain proper oral hygiene, dental decay can occur around the margins of the veneer.
• Porcelain veneers from North Rocks Dentist can be difficult to remove if you change your mind at a later date.
• If local anaesthetic is used during the procedure it could trigger an allergic reaction.
• Temperature changes from hot or cold drinks and food can cause expansion and contraction in your teeth over many years and this can weaken your veneers and cause cracks over a long period of time?

How to maintain porcelain veneers?

To keep your veneers in top condition, you need to take care of your teeth and gums by:

• Carefully brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing using the correct technique.
• Avoiding using your teeth as a tool to open bottles or any material that puts extreme pressure on your veneers.
• Going easy on tough foods such as hard candy to avoid potential damage to your veneers.
• Visiting your North Rocks Dentist once or twice a year for a cleaning appointment to remove any tartar from your teeth.
