Can You Use An Electric ToothBrush On Veneers and Crowns?

Properly placed veneers will not be loosened by mechanical tooth brushes, so using sonicare or rotodent should be just fine.

Yes, electric toothbrushes can be safely used on crowns and veneers. To protect your dental work, avoid harsh "extra whitening" tooth pastes, and alcohol-based mouthwashes that can weaken the bonds in porcelain. I would advice using a non-abrasive toothpaste or toothpaste with baking soda, as well as non-alcoholic mouthwashes.

Of course you can use an electric toothbrush on veneers and crowns, in fact we recommend it!  Veneers are bonded to your teeth with strong bonding agents and resin cements while crowns are cemented onto your teeth.  It would take a much stronger force then an electric toothbrush to loosen a veneer or crown, if the veneer is done properly. Electric toothbrushes do a much better job of keeping your teeth and gingiva clean and are recommended in these situations.

Absolutely!! there is nothing wrong by using an electric toothbrush! You will benefit tremendously from it. The patented dynamic cleaning action of an electric toothbrush drives fluid deep between the teeth and along the gum line, for a difference you can see and feel. You will be so happy with it, and will never use a manual toothbrush again. We have Oral -B Braun and Sonicare in our office, very similar technology just different type of brush heads.

Your veneers will not be damaged by ANY eletric toothbrush or come out. The best electric toothbrush that we sell in our office and, can only be found in dental offices, is the Rotadent. It is far better at removing plaque than the others. It has three heads that come with it and three speeds you can use. The brush's filaments are soft as human hair and because of the different shapes of the brushes, it can clean and get into difficult areas. It is good for gums, and teeth and with it rotating action, cleans in the same manner as the dental hygienist's handpiece. Be careful to use a gel or a non abrasive toothpaste which ever model you choose !
