Whether you are a dedicated foodie or passionate snacker, you know how important your teeth are as you dig into all of your favorite dishes. Therefore, it is understandable if you are reluctant to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/veneers.html\">get veneers<\/a>. Although they can provide powerful aesthetic benefits, you might worry that they will force you to change your diet. This blog post explains what you need to know about how veneers could affect your eating habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eating with Temporary Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Temporary veneers are an important part of the treatment process. They are not as durable as their permanent counterparts, so you may need to take some precautions to protect them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid sticky foods:<\/strong> Caramel, taffy, and other sticky foods might pull temporary veneers right off your teeth!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduce your intake of highly pigmented items:<\/strong> Temporary veneers may stain, so if you want them to maintain an attractive color, you may need to cut back on things like coffee, tea, and berries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be aware of sensitivity:<\/strong> There is a chance you will experience increased dental sensitivity while wearing temporary veneers. Hot, cold, and acidic items might worsen your discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be careful with hard items:<\/strong> Hard foods could break your veneers, so chew very carefully if you choose to consume anything tough or hard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To err on the side of caution, eat mostly soft and minimally pigmented foods. Things like bread, poultry, pasta with white sauce, scrambled eggs, and bananas are good choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eating with Permanent Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few weeks with temporary veneers, you should get your permanent ones. You can eat virtually anything when they are in place! Of course, moderation and reasonableness are still important. Here are some tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Do not overindulge in alcohol:<\/strong> Over time, frequent or excessive alcohol intake may weaken the bonding agent that keeps your veneers in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consume dark liquids through a straw:<\/strong> Permanent veneers are highly resistant to stains, but they can become discolored if you overconsume highly pigmented items. You can reduce your veneers\u2019 exposure to dark liquids by sipping them through a straw.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prevent breakage:<\/strong> Do not use your veneers to bite into ice or other hard items. You should also cut meat off the bone instead of digging directly in with your teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers should not have any major long-term consequences for your diet. In fact, as long as you implement some basic precautions, you should be able to continue to enjoy all of your favorite snacks, meals, and treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Meet the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drs. Schlessel and Hornstein are highly skilled cosmetic dentists with a wealth of training and experience behind them. They provide high-quality veneers that have the potential to last for decades.
