5 Common Questions About Veneers
I can assure you that using an electric brush does not affect the structure of the veneer or its appearance in any way, even after prolonged use.
This is all due to the fact that the veneer surface is sufficiently polished and covered with a special thin layer of glaze, which, in turn, reproduces the physical and chemical properties of the tooth enamel.
Secondly, modern electric brushes have a built-in pressure sensor, ensuring safe teeth brushing. The main thing is to remember about daily oral hygiene.
Yes, it is true. Plaque adheres much less to the surface of the veneer since the surface is polished in the dental lab.
The surface is almost micropore-free thanks to modern tools and 4x magnification equipment.
Still, plaque and calculus deposits can accumulate in the tooth sulcus between the ceramic and the tooth’s own tissues. Therefore, preventive checkups, regular home hygiene, and a periodontist visit are necessary!
No, there is no way to detach the veneer from the tooth when flossing the teeth. The veneer or ceramic restoration is fixed on a special two-component composite material with a bonding force after polymerization equal to that of healthy enamel to dentin.
That is why it is impossible to break such a bond.
The main thing is whether the protocol for fixing the ceramics is followed.
In theory, yes, it is possible. Suppose the dentist uses abrasive powders, such as baking soda and fake products. Such substances damage the surface, resulting in the veneer losing its shine.
To avoid such consequences, be sure to warn your dentist about the ceramic structures before starting the procedure.
This is because veneers are cleaned with special glycine or erythritol-based powders, such as Ems perio.
Once the work has been fixed and checked, I show patients how to take care of their new restorations in detail, recommending preventive checkups every six months.
