Dental Veneer Aftercare with Aventis Dental

When leaving with your new veneers at Aventis Dental – whether having porcelain or composite – you can rest assured that they have been expertly designed to be long-lasting and durable. With the right aftercare, they’ll have no problem remaining bright, fresh and functional for many years to come.

At Aventis Dental, your treatment with Dr Lavington doesn’t end when your new veneers are fitted. It’s our goal to make every patient feel supported, even years after their treatment is complete, which is why we offer 3-year guarantees on our veneer applications.

Below, we’ve broken down how to maintain your veneers and look after them to keep them fresh and in place. However, if you do experience any problems, do not hesitate to give us a call – we can sort it out today. Call +1 345 746-8555.

Aftercare overview

• No special aftercare and maintenance instructions.
• Care for them like you would your own natural teeth.
• Veneers do not decay, but you should still care for the teeth underneath.
• Tooth grinding can put extra stress on veneers, causing them to chip or wear.

How long do our dental veneers last?

Our dental veneers can last up to 25 years with porcelain veneers and up to 7 years with composite veneers.

Dr Lavington only works with premium veneer brands, such as Emax, which offers superior durability. Patients opting for our porcelain veneers can enjoy long-lasting benefits, as they are stronger, more stain-resistant, and designed to look brand-new for decades.

Our veneer patients at Aventis Dental in George Town can also gain peace of mind that after undergoing veneer treatment with the incredible Dr Lavington, their veneers are guaranteed for up to 3 years.

Recommended daily care for veneers

• Brush your teeth gently twice a day using a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
• Floss daily or use interdental brushes to prevent gum inflammation and protect veneer margins.
• Use an electric toothbrush for more effective plaque control.

How to care for your veneers and extend their lifespan

Our veneer patients can easily extend the lifespan of their veneers and keep them looking fresher for longer by following recommended aftercare protocols and by visiting cosmetic dentists like us regularly following treatment.

What to avoid to protect your veneers:

• Even though veneers are strong, certain habits can shorten their lifespan:
• Avoid biting or chewing ice, hard sweets, pens or fingernails
• Avoid using your teeth as tools
• Use your back teeth for harder foods
• Use a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth

Protecting your veneers from stains

Both veneer types remain bright with good care, but they behave differently over time:

Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant

• Porcelain is non-porous, meaning it does not absorb stains.
• With good habits, porcelain veneers maintain their shade for many years.
• Coffee, tea, red wine and curries are far less likely to affect porcelain.

Composite veneers are susceptible to stains

• Composite is slightly porous, so it can more easily accumulate stains.
• Avoid smoking or heavy consumption of staining foods/drinks.
• Composite veneers may require periodic polishing to keep them bright.

Ensure regular check-ups and hygiene appointments tailored to veneers

When you care for your veneers properly and attend regular maintenance appointments with Dr Lavington, you can trust that they’ll stay bright and strong. Routine care will help your veneers and natural teeth stay healthy long-term, and by visiting our dental practice in the Cayman Islands, our veneer patients can benefit from:

• Professional cleaning with our trained hygienists
• Review appointments to check margins and bite balance
• Guidance tailored to your veneer type
• Early detection of any minor issues
• Preventive care ensures your veneers remain strong

Contact us immediately if you notice:

• A veneer feels loose or “high”
• A small chip or rough edge
• Gum irritation around a veneer
• Sensitivity that doesn’t settle
• Any changes in your bite

Early intervention prevents bigger issues later and helps protect your investment. For questions or aftercare support, call +1 345 746-8555. Your smile is always in good hands.

“Aventis is the best. Dr Jonathan did an amazing job on my front teeth today. I had a gap in my front teeth that really bothered me. He did a great job of closing the gap and matching the shade of my teeth perfectly! The most amazing part is I barely felt a thing.” – Carmen Lee, Cayman Islands.
