Dental veneers can be crafted and customized to give you a long-lasting near perfect smile. Below are some questions and answers concerning veneers:

Question: How durable are dental veneers?
Answer: Dental veneers are extremely strong and durable. Despite their ultra-thin size, with the proper care, a single veneer can last well over a decade.

Question: What kind of flaws can veneers fix?
Answer: Veneers are placed on the front of your tooth, so nearly every type of tooth abnormality can be concealed. They can fix minor misalignments, permanent stains, discolorations, cracks, and even chipped teeth.

Question: Will veneers stand out from my natural teeth?
Answer: No, veneers are custom-crafted for each individual tooth, and can be color-matched to your other teeth. Their surface is also natural-looking, and when crafted by our team of amazing professionals at Plaza Dental Care, they are nearly impossible to notice.

Question: Do veneers hurt?
Answer: Veneers are often noted as being one of the most painless procedures in the dental industry. Many patients often experience no pain at all.

– Sticky Candy: Exercise care when consuming sticky candies such as taffy, caramels, or gummies, as they can easily stick to your teeth and gums. They can also be difficult to remove, which can rapidly increase tooth decay.
– Popcorn Balls: Popcorn balls can be dangerous if they are too hard, so be careful when biting into them. It is also recommended to floss regularly after consumption, as bits of popcorn can easily be lodged between the teeth.
– Hard Candy: Hard candy should be avoided. They can break or chip teeth, and residue often ends up stuck to your teeth longer, which can rapidly increase tooth decay.
– Sour Candy: Due to their high acidic content, sour candies are some of the most dangerous treats to your precious teeth. Due to its acidic nature (nearly the same as battery acid), there is a high risk of cavities and enamel loss.

For an alternative, chocolate washes off easier than most other candies, so don’t be afraid to switch out a few of the above with some chocolate. Also, sugarless gum is a great way to clean your sparkly whites after some sugary snacks. As always, be sure to brush and floss.
