How do you care for Dental Veneers?
One of the greatest benefits of dental veneers is that you can care for them just as you would your natural teeth: flossing, brushing, and regular dental visits (every six months). And although porcelain dental veneers are known to withstand stains, it’s still important to brush your teeth after you consume stain causing foods and beverages like black tea and red wine.
