Getting veneers<\/a> can transform your smile nearly overnight, but it\u2019ll take a little bit of planning to keep them in top shape. It\u2019s natural to wonder if your diet will have to change and, if so, how. You might have the same question about your temporary veneers, which will require a little bit more care to protect. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about how you should change your diet after getting your veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Should I Change My Diet for Permanent Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your veneers are likely made of durable porcelain, which is both hard enough to resist cracking and collects stains more slowly than your natural tooth. That means that your diet won\u2019t have to change that significantly when you have them applied. In fact, most of the foods that are bad for your veneers are also bad for your natural teeth, and usually for similar reasons. However, porcelain is a bit more fragile than enamel, so you may have to avoid these foods to an extent that wasn\u2019t necessary before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like your natural teeth, your veneers can be damaged if you bite down on exceptionally hard foods. You have to be more careful than usual around lollypops and cough drops if you don\u2019t want to have to replace your veneers prematurely. Tobacco and alcohol are also more dangerous than they were before, as both of them can weaken the veneers\u2019 adhesive over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do I Eat with Temporary Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you have your permanent set, you\u2019ll probably have to spend some time with temporary veneers. These are attached to the teeth with a much weaker cement than your permanent set will be, which means it\u2019s much easier for them to pop off. Most providers will recommend going on a soft food diet, which entails avoiding anything hard, chewy, or tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are plenty of foods you can still eat on a soft food diet, such as\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
