There’s no shortage of ways in the city of London to get your teeth patched up, though one of the reasons that you may have had to have it done in the first place could be put down to your lifestyle. If you’re quite happy to carry on regardless and have a never ending supply of money to keep repairing your mouth, well then bully for you. But even the repair work can suffer from further excesses placed upon them. Veneers, whether porcelain or resin can only take so much from an exuberant way of life and like your natural teeth, will discolor over time due to smoking and drinking. Porcelain can be re-polished but you have to remember that they are wafer thin and can only take so much. However, they are receptive to laser whitening, bleaching kits and toothpastes so you should have no problem in restoring their natural sheen. Resin veneers are more porous and absorb things quickly, hence, they can discolor more quickly, but, can also absorb bleaching techniques quickly. But by the very nature of how resin works, your dentist can patch them up easily. Essentially at the end of the day, it’s you that should be asking questions about your lifestyle.
