Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, providing a complete smile makeover. They correct imperfections, from discolouration to chips, cracks and minor misalignments.
While porcelain veneers are known to be more resistant to staining than natural teeth, their protective glaze can wear down over time, making them susceptible to discolouration from acidic foods and other staining agents.
While teeth whitening is a popular option for brightening your natural teeth, veneers require a different approach to maintain their pearly white shine. Let’s explore further below:
Custom Take-Home Whitening
For gradual and convenient whitening, we offer custom-made moulds and a professional-grade whitening solution you can use at home. The best part? You can top up your results whenever you like using the same trays, ensuring your smile stays bright for years.
In-Chair Whitening
Our in-office Zoom whitening treatment is perfect for those who want instant results. In just four 15-minute sessions, you’ll achieve a dramatically whiter smile lasting up to 5 years. It’s a fantastic option for busy clients who prefer a professional touch.
Regular Cleanings with EMS Airflow
This procedure uses a controlled stream of warm water, air, and gentle powder to clean the tooth surface. It reaches difficult areas without harming veneers and eliminates plaque, tartar, and stains to help maintain their shine.
Limit Staining Foods and Drinks
Because veneers are stain-resistant, they limit the discolouring affects of coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining substances. Using a straw can also help preserve your veneers’ brightness.
At-Home Whitening Toothpaste
Brush your teeth after eating or drinking acidic or staining substances to prevent pigments from settling into the veneer’s surface. Be sure to use a non-abrasive whitening toothpaste designed for veneers to gently remove stains on the surface without damaging the outer layer of your veneers.
With comprehensive care, your porcelain veneers should last between ten and thirty years – a long-term solution to your teeth. Absolute Dental provides professional teeth whitening treatments and veneer replacement if necessary to maintain your smile’s brilliance.
