Diet:
Avoid eating and drinking things that stain like coffee, tea, sodas, grape juice etc.
Porcelain Veneers:
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or pressed ceramics which are bonded on to your teeth. Veneers create a spectacular smile make-over.
The tooth is first shaved down, an impression of the tooth is taken, then it is sent to a laboratory, and when the veneer returns it is bonded (cemented) on to the tooth.
Things that veneers can fix:
Veneers usually only cover the area you can see when you smile. This means you can have a whiter, straighter, and nicer smile.
Porcelain Crown - When a tooth is too decayed a crown is used because a veneer is not possible since there is too much destruction to the tooth. The crown will hold the tooth together.
Bonding - we can fill in areas to cover spaces, size and create a nicer looking smile. Bonding is like a filling it covers the areas that are missed shaped or too small.
