How to Maintain Cosmetic Dental Treatment Results
After investing in cosmetic dentistry, it’s important to protect your results so your smile stays beautiful and healthy for years to come. Here are some essential tips to maintain your KöR whitening, Invisalign®, and porcelain veneers:
Practice Excellent Oral Hygiene – Brush at least twice a day and floss daily to prevent stains, plaque buildup, and decay. Using a non-abrasive toothpaste will help protect veneers and maintain enamel health.
Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks – Limit intake of coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored foods that can cause discoloration. If you do enjoy these beverages, rinse your mouth with water afterward or use a straw when possible.
Follow Your Dentist’s Instructions – For treatments like Invisalign®, wear your aligners as prescribed and keep them clean. For whitening, follow touch-up schedules recommended by Dr. Maher Lawand or Dr. Nagham Ghanim to maintain your bright smile.
Schedule Regular Dental Checkups at Dumas Family Dental – Routine checkups and professional cleanings at Dumas Family Dental help monitor your cosmetic treatments and overall oral health. Early detection of issues ensures long-lasting results and prevents costly repairs.
Protect Your Teeth – Avoid biting hard objects, chewing ice, or using your teeth as tools, as this can damage veneers and other dental restorations. Consider a nightguard if you grind your teeth while sleeping.
