Porcelain veneers vs composite veneers

Porcelain and composite veneers are two available options, and the difference between them lies in durability, cost, and appearance. The veneers are incredibly strong, and their durability is second to none; porcelain veneers are known to have a life expectancy of an average of 15 years On top of this, porcelain veneers do not stain easily and therefore enjoy the reputation of being the best long-term solution for those people who want permanent veneers. Fiber-reinforced composite veneers are comparatively cheaper, quicker to install, and even may be done in a single sitting; nonetheless, they are more susceptible to wear and stain and have a life of approximately 5-7 years. Porcelain veneers are more esthetic and shiny than real teeth while composite veneers are more reasonable and good for those with big budgets. Those with a desire to have good looks and affordable treatment costs may decide on having composite veneers while patients in need of strong material and superior gloss may go for porcelain veneers.

Do porcelain veneers stain?

No, porcelain veneers do not stain easily because they are made of porcelain which is a non-porous material that will not allow pigments from foods and other drinks to stick to their surface. This is unlike natural teeth or composite veneers which can easily be stained over time giving a dental structure a dark brown color. However, veneers may look stained when compared to the neighboring teeth because when the neighboring teeth stain, veneers also appear. This is because every time one takes coffee or red wine or does not brush his or her teeth well, the bonding material at the sides of the veneer will stain. Also, if the surface is rough due to wear or if there is damage to it, there is a likelihood that the area will attract more staining agents. In general, porcelain veneers, if taken care of well, remain very bright and natural for as long as many years.

When can I fly after porcelain veneers?

Normally you can travel within 24-48 hours after having porcelain veneers placed on your teeth, however, it is always recommended to wait for your dentist to confirm that you have healed well and there are no issues involved.

This waiting time is useful because it offers the gum some time to return to normal in case it is sensitive from the procedure, or has a little bleeding or discomfort. If the patient takes to air travel too soon, it may be uncomfortable because of the cabin pressure which may cause more pain to the affected area. It is also recommended to ensure that your dentist assures you that the veneers are properly bonded before you travel. They may require minor changes or a follow-up before transitioning to another setting, for example, due to ill health. It also reduces the chances of having to deal with complications while traveling hence the need to allow time for proper healing.

What to eat after porcelain veneers

For the first three days after getting porcelain veneers, one is advised to take soft foods that are of neutral temperatures so as not to put a lot of pressure on your teeth or cause sensitivity. Soft fruits, fruits that have been blended to form smoothies and steamed vegetables should be taken. Consuming hot or cold meals will be uncomfortable because of increased sensitivity that is normal after treatment, therefore, warm meals should be taken. You should also refrain from consuming meals that are likely to cause stains such as coffee, and curry because the bonding material takes some time to settle down. Patients are largely able to revert normal diet after the initial sensitivity stage of 5 to 7 days. It is for this reason that to have your veneers looking as flawless as possible, it is advisable to minimize foods with intense colors in your daily diet too.
