Porcelain veneers are the perfect solution to improve the overall color, size, shape, and proportion of your teeth using a minimally invasive procedure. Attaching the false fronts instantly enhances their appearance to give you the flawless smile you\u2019ve always wanted. Although you\u2019ll enjoy long-term results, you still need to commit to your oral hygiene so you don\u2019t experience a porcelain veneer cavity in Tomball. Here\u2019s what you need to know to keep your new smile cavity-free.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Porcelain Veneer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A veneer is a custom-made shell bonded to the front surface\nof a tooth to instantly hide a variety of imperfections, like discoloration, chips,\nand even gaps. Now, veneers are commonly made of porcelain because it closely\nmimics your enamel while also allowing the shells to be thinner than those used\nin the past. As a result, less of your enamel is removed during the bonding\nprocess for a minimally invasive treatment. Although veneers are thin, they can\nlast for a decade or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Still Get Cavities?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers aren\u2019t subject to tooth decay, but your underlying\nteeth can still be damaged. If you aren\u2019t proactive about your oral hygiene,\nyou can develop cavities. Depending on where the decay is at on your tooth, you\nmay need to have your veneer removed to treat it. Thankfully, you can stop cavities\nfrom starting in the first place by following the right oral hygiene routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Prevent Cavities?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cavity prevention starts at home with your toothbrush and\nfloss. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste to clean your teeth at\nleast twice a day for 2-minutes each session. It\u2019s important to choose products\nthat aren\u2019t abrasive to avoid causing small scratches on the surfaces of the\nveneers, which can make them look discolored. Besides brushing, you\u2019ll also\nneed to floss your teeth every night before going to bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to your oral hygiene habits, limit your consumption of sugary foods and drinks. When sugar combines with the bacteria in your mouth, it turns to an acidic plaque that will slowly eat away at your enamel until it causes a hole. You can significantly reduce your risk of a cavity by limiting your sugar consumption. If you can\u2019t ignore your sweet tooth, brush your teeth immediately afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to visit your dentist at least twice a year for a cleaning and checkup. Your cosmetic dentist in Tomball will monitor your dental health to detect any concerning areas early, like weakened enamel. Quick intervention can prevent a cavity from damaging your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in a Beautiful, Healthy Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enjoy your porcelain veneers for many years with the\nhelp of your cosmetic dentist and the best oral hygiene habits at home.
