How to take care of your dental veneers

Be careful with colourants

Avoid consuming foods or products that have a high concentration of colourants, whether they are natural or artificial, such as mustard, red wine, coffee, dark chocolate, curry, etc. Also, try to use rinses and toothpastes without colourants. Recurrent use of these products will cause dental veneers to lose their colour and shine, as well as get stained.
