Do prosthetic teeth get dental calculus as readily as natural teeth do?

January 24, 2024
Asked By:ExcitingYou12 in Austin, Texas

I am considering to get veneers for my discolored teeth and weary enamel. I also happen to get rapid tartar buildup. And it isn't because of my oral hygiene. I brush & floss twice. I have tried anti-tartar toothpastes, diet modification, mouthwashes, and everything else under the sun. And yet, I start to get considerable tartar within 2 days of getting my teeth scaled. The composition of my saliva is likely to blame for this. So I am wondering, could veneers help me with this, too?
