Dental veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic solutions for achieving a beautiful, quick, and long-lasting smile transformation. Whether you’re correcting discolouration, shape, or minor imperfections, veneers offer natural, balanced results. But what happens after they’re fitted? How do you take care of them? At Clínica Dental La Campana, we explain everything you need to know.
If you’re thinking about getting dental veneers – or you already have them – take note of these tips to keep your smile flawless for years to come.
1. Maintain a strong daily oral hygiene routine
While veneers don’t decay like natural teeth, their longevity depends largely on your overall oral health. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and don’t forget to floss or use interdental brushes to remove plaque build-up between the teeth.
A healthy mouth is key to keeping your veneers clean, secure, and looking their best.
2. Avoid foods and habits that may damage them
Dental veneers are durable – but not indestructible. To care for them:
- Avoid biting into very hard foods like ice, nougat, or nuts in their shell.
- Never use your teeth as tools (opening packages, tearing thread, etc.).
- Reduce consumption of coffee, tea, red wine and other staining products, especially if you wear composite veneers, which are more prone to discolouration over time.
- Avoid smoking: tobacco can stain your veneers and harm your gums, which impacts the overall look of your smile.
3. Check your bite and watch for habits like bruxism
One of the greatest risks to dental veneers is bruxism – clenching or grinding your teeth, especially at night. If this affects you, your dentist may recommend a night guard to protect your teeth and prevent veneer fractures or shifting.
It’s also essential to ensure your bite is well-balanced so that no teeth are under excessive pressure.
4. Visit your dentist regularly
Routine check-ups are vital to keep your gums healthy, detect issues early, and ensure your veneers remain properly fitted.
At Clínica Dental La Campana, we recommend a dental check-up every six months. During your visit, we carry out a professional cleaning and – for composite veneers – we may polish them to restore their original shine.
5. Always trust specialised professionals
The success of your veneers – both placement and maintenance – depends heavily on the expertise of your dental team.
At Clínica Dental La Campana, our cosmetic dentistry specialists have years of experience in fitting and caring for dental veneers. We carry out a personalised smile analysis and use high-quality materials to deliver aesthetic, natural and long-lasting results.
What types of dental veneers are available?
There are two main types:
- Porcelain veneers – highly resistant, with a natural finish and long-lasting results. They do not stain over time.
- Composite veneers – shaped directly onto the tooth, more affordable, and easy to touch up. They require more maintenance and regular check-ups.
Our team will help you choose the best option based on your oral health, expectations, and aesthetic goals.
