הנחיות לאחר ציפוי קומפוזיט:

• Avoid eating until the numbness fully wears off to prevent accidental biting of lips or tongue.
• For the first 24 hours, avoid:
  
  • Hard foods (nuts, seeds, ice, hard candy)
  • Sticky foods (toffees, chewing gum)
  • Very hot or cold foods if sensitivity is present.
• Bite with your back teeth, not the veneered teeth, especially on hard foods.

• Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush.
• Avoid whitening toothpastes for the first week (they can be abrasive).
• Floss daily, but slide the floss out gently to avoid popping off margins.

• Mild sensitivity to temperature or pressure is normal for a few days.
• If sensitivity increases or persists longer than 1–2 weeks, notify the clinic.
• Gum tenderness may occur for 1–2 days and should gradually resolve.

For the first 48–72 hours, avoid foods and drinks that can stain:

• Coffee, tea, red wine
• Turmeric, curry, beetroot
• Dark sauces (soy sauce, balsamic vinegar)
• Cigarettes/vaping (strongly recommended to avoid, as they stain composites)

Composite veneers are strong but not as strong as enamel. To protect them:

• Do not use your teeth as tools (opening packages, biting nails).
• Avoid biting hard objects (pens, ice, hairpins).
• If you grind or clench your teeth, wear a night guard to prevent chipping.

• Veneers may feel slightly different at first; this should improve over a few days.
• If you notice sharp edges, rough spots, or an uneven bite, contact the clinic for a quick adjustment.

• Composite veneers typically require periodic polishing to maintain shine.
  We recommend a polish every 6–12 months.
• Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings.

Call the clinic if you notice:

• Chipping, cracking, or pieces breaking off
• Staining that does not improve with polishing
• Persistent sensitivity or pain when biting
• A feeling that the veneer is “moving” or no longer attached
