Summary of this video by Dr. Kimberly Corrigan-Dankworth
In the video, Dr. Kimberly Corrigan-Dankworth discusses the importance of maintaining the longevity and appearance of veneers through proper home care and mindful eating habits. She emphasizes that while the solid tooth structure underneath a veneer contributes to its durability, personal oral care practices significantly impact how long veneers last. With many conditions that may affect veneer stability, careful diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning are vital. She notes that while some patients are diligent in caring for their veneers, others may disregard their oral care, leading to quicker deterioration. Lastly, she touches on lifestyle choices, mentioning that those who are rough on their teeth might face more frequent veneer replacements.

Transforming Your Smile With Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a remarkable solution for transforming your smile. Whether it’s correcting discoloration, fixing chipped teeth or closing gaps, veneers provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing result. But their true staying power lies beyond their material, as they depend largely on personalized care and the expertise behind their placement.
Dr. Kimberly Corrigan-Dankworth shares, “Veneers staying in place and looking beautiful for a long time have everything to do with our home care and what we eat or don’t eat.” She emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy dental routine to protect the longevity of your veneers.
What to Expect with La Costa Dental Excellence
The caring team at La Costa Dental Excellence focuses on making your journey to a perfect smile seamless and comfortable. The process begins with a thorough evaluation of your oral health and understanding your aesthetic goals. Dr. Corrigan-Dankworth explains, “There is a small percentage of, if we’re going to do a veneer, of how much solid tooth structure we have underneath.” This assessment increases the quality of the results as we work to enhance your individual features with regard to your functional health.
Placing Your Veneers
Your veneers are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth’s color, shape and size. The procedure involves gently reshaping the tooth surface to accommodate the veneer securely. Dr. Corrigan-Dankworth explains, “If we have good, solid tooth structure that you can put the veneer on, then it’s going to stick and it’s going to stay in place much longer.” With careful attention to detail, every step is taken to establish a flawless fit and appearance.
Personal Experiences From Our Patients
Many of our patients have shared their transformational journeys and how veneers have changed their lives. One patient remarked, “I never thought I could love my smile this much. The care and precision from Dr. Corrigan-Dankworth made all the difference.” Another celebrated, “My veneers are over a decade old and still look fantastic. I follow Dr. Corrigan-Dankworth’s advice on maintenance carefully.”
The Importance of Caring For Your Veneers
Proper care is vital for your veneers to maintain their shine and structure. Regular brushing, flossing and professional cleanings are non-negotiable elements. Dr. Corrigan-Dankworth mentions, “Brushing, flossing, water pick, all the things, and being very, very careful with what they eat,” are habits that contribute to prolonged veneer life.
